💾 RAM Allocation
- Recommended: 5 GB
- Maximum Needed: 10 GB Allocating more than 10 GB may hurt performance instead of helping it. Stick within the 5–10 GB range for optimal results!

🍎 Mac Compatibility
Homestead does work on Mac! We’ve had multiple beta testers successfully run the pack on Mac laptops and desktops.
⚠️ Note: Shaders can sometimes be tricky on Mac systems. Expect potential issues if you use shader packs. If you are crashing before even booting, please remove the mods

🖥️ Lower-End Device Recommendations
If you're using a lower-end gaming laptop or device, we recommend turning off shaders before entering the game.
- Homestead comes preloaded with shaders enabled to enhance the cozy atmosphere.
- However, shaders can be very demanding on weaker computers.
How to disable shaders:
- Open Minecraft and go to Settings.
- Navigate to Video Settings.
- Click Shader Packs (top right corner).
- Click Disable.
Turning off shaders can greatly improve your performance if you're experiencing lag!
And make sure that you lower your Render and Simulation distance as well!
