ReShade Setup

ReShade is a post-processing injector for games and video software. Follow the steps below to install and configure ReShade for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

Requirements

  • Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Windows
  • ReShade installer (latest version)
  • A compatible GPU with updated drivers

Installation

  1. Download ReShade from the official website: reshade.me

    • Warning: ReShade with full add-on support is not recommended for online use. ReShade installer download page

  2. Run the ReShade installer, find your Minecraft installation directory.

Get-AppxPackage -Name "*Minecraft*" | ForEach-Object { Write-Host (Get-Item $_.InstallLocation).ResolvedTarget }

Select gamelaunchhelper.exe not the Minecraft.Windows.exe file.

  1. Choose the rendering API (DirectX 12).
  2. Select your desired shader effects to install.
  3. Launch Minecraft and press Home to open the ReShade overlay.

For the best experience with Minecraft RTX, consider enabling these effects:

  • SMAA (anti-aliasing)
  • Tonemap (color grading)
  • LUT (look-up table for color correction)
  • Clarity (detail enhancement)

Troubleshooting

If Minecraft fails to load when ReShade is enabled, first check the ReShade.log file. The log file can be found in the same directory as your Minecraft.Windows.exe file.
