Despite the "Vanilla" name, it is extremely demanding. You generally need a modern dedicated GPU (Nvidia RTX 20-series or AMD RX 6000-series and above) to maintain 60 FPS [1, 2].
Offers a visual overhaul comparable to high-end shaders like SEUS PTGI or Continuum RT. Vanilla Raytracing for Java! (Support 3D Models)
Requires Iris Shaders or Optifine . It may conflict with other "core shaders" that modify the same rendering pipelines. Setup and Requirements Despite the "Vanilla" name, it is extremely demanding
One of its standout features is the ability to handle complex 3D geometry . While many older ray-tracing packs struggled with non-blocky shapes, this version correctly calculates light hits on custom 3D models (like detailed furniture or vegetation) rather than treating them as flat planes [2, 4].
