-
Does RLCraft work with shaders or OptiFine?
Shaders can work but usually reduce performance. If you use OptiFine on RLCraft v2.9, the author notes you should use the latest OptiFine G5 for 1.12.2 and not E3 because it can crash.

Why does RLCraft feel so hard compared to normal Minecraft?
It adds thirst and temperature, removes healing from food, gates items and abilities behind skills, and fills the world with dangerous structures, dungeons, and powerful mobs.
