Rev’s Better Shaders v1.0.1 — Performance Update

This update focuses on making the shader profiles more meaningful, especially for players using lower-end hardware, while keeping the Rev’s Better Shaders visual identity intact.

Changes

• Reworked the Performance profile to use lighter versions of effects instead of removing the shader look completely.
• Performance mode now keeps shadows enabled, but uses cheaper shadow settings.
• Performance mode now keeps ambient occlusion enabled with lower sample count and reduced strength.
• Performance mode now keeps custom water enabled, but disables heavier refraction.
• Performance mode keeps sun reflections for better water visuals.
• Performance mode keeps colored glass shadows.
• Performance mode keeps waving vegetation.
• Performance mode now uses Denoise instead of fully disabling anti-aliasing.
• Performance mode keeps dynamic hand light enabled.
• Volumetric clouds remain disabled in Performance mode for better FPS.
• Balanced profile was lightly optimized while preserving the recommended default look.
• Balanced profile now uses lighter AO and cloud settings.
• Balanced profile uses Denoise instead of heavier TAA.
• Quality profile was adjusted to sit more clearly between Balanced and Cinematic.
• Cinematic profile remains the highest visual preset for screenshots and high-end systems.
• Updated internal version labels to v1.0.1.
• Updated documentation and settings text for the performance update.

Notes

Performance mode should now feel more useful for low-end users without making the pack look like vanilla. Balanced remains the recommended default for most players.
