This shader is wonderful, but the world has this wavey effect to it, like I’m in a heated climate or had one too many shots. It’s subtle but it’s very distracting and disorienting.

The shader works perfectly and is beautiful, however the shader has these black boxes over stuff when I move(including me) as if the shadows aren’t working properly, I’ve turned everything in the shadow menu off and on and tried fixing it but I have no clue what to do, because none of my attempts to fix it have worked. Help would be appreciated!

This is a really beautiful shader (I adore the nebulas) and it runs smoothly on my PC (3060 Ti, 32GB Ram, Ryzen 7 5700X + LexBoost Profile) though I have to turn off motion blurs and sometimes camera sways, but it always lags a lot whenever I open the textbox, inventory and esc menus, drops my fps to less than 5. Tested with AND without Resource Packs yields the same results. Also tested with BSL Shaders and that doesn’t lag at all, only when I’m using AstraLex Shaders.
Runaiya
I fixed it, not sure if it’s the re-installation of Minecraft or entering fullscreen mode fixes it but it works flawlessly for me now.
