View DistanceMediumbaseline

How far the world renders — the heaviest setting and partly CPU-bound. Medium is a big win with little real loss.

Level of DetailMediumbaseline

Distance at which objects switch to lower-detail meshes — partly CPU-bound. Medium is a strong step down.

Shadow DistanceMediumbaseline

Quality and distance of object shadows. Medium is a strong step down from High.

Tree QualityMediumbaseline

Tree detail based on distance. Medium is a safe trim in the forests.

Grass DistanceMediumbaseline

How far grass renders — partly a CPU cost during blood-moon hordes. Medium smooths them and clears sightlines.

Reflection QualityLowbaseline

Screen-space reflections on water. Low/Off is fine in a survival game.

Water QualityMediumbaseline

Surface layers and effects on water. Low is plenty.

Texture QualityFullbaseline

Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
