How to Fix buggy textures / flat textures glitch / Integrated Graphics Bug (Updated w/ Neodymium for 2024!)

[EpicAaron]

Has this ever happened to you?



This is the integrated graphics bug that is effecting a lot of users on older hardware. Old laptops tend to fall prey to this. Thankfully, there is a solution!

INSTALL NEODYMIUM! (Thank you Arminias)

Step 1:
Download the Neodymium jar file here:
https://github.com/BTW-Community/Neodym ... tag/v0.2.1

Step 2:
Drag and drop the Neodymium jar file into the "mods" folder of your BTW instance. Follow the pictures below if you don't know how to do that...

Select the instance you want to add Neodymium to. In the sidebar to the right, select "view mods" from the menu.

This will take you to the loader mods menu. In here, select "add" and choose the Neodymium mod. It will automatically place the jar inside the proper folder.

If you would prefer to drag and drop the jar manually like old times, select "view folder" at the very bottom right of the menu.

It's that simple! Neodymium fixes the errors in the code that cause these graphical issues to occur.

OUTDATED OPTION: Downgrade your Intel graphics drivers

Old as hell. Not recommended.

If you have an intel processor, you can downgrade your integrated graphics drivers in order to go back to a version that works with MultiMC. I made a video on how to do it, but really all you have to do is run the program and let it do its thing!

Do you have an AMD processor? Apprently the issue has been fixed on AMD as well, but I don't know the exact solution myself. Someone with experience there should message me so I can update this guide.

If you need more help, ask in the main BTW discord:

Arminias has developed something called Neodinium/Neodinyum/Neodinum or whatever that seems like a great fix for this bug. No need to downgrade your intel drivers! I will update this thread when that officially releases.

I just ported Neodymium over from 1.7.10 Forge, but yes, it fixes this.
Alongside this, "Option 3" you described will no longer work - since the "fix" only worked because of a missing JVM arg, which was very detrimental to performance (like 75% drop). That JVM arg has been added by default now.
Hence Neodymium is the way to go for now, at least for up-to-date versions of CE.

Updated the thread to reflect this information.

As far as getting Neodymium to work with older versions of BTW is concerned, I would like to sit down and write some custom hooks to make it happen. Fabric works with old BTW versions, but Neodymium itself has issues. I will likely have to make a bridger addon that just fills in what Neodymium is looking for.

EDIT: I did it :)
