Texture Filtering & Light Effect

[atlanser]

what does texture filtering and the light effect do for your graphics
I turn em off and on i dont see a clear difference

[Niani]

well i know light effects allows your armor and weapon to shine from the sun light, pretty much anything metallic on your character will shine.

What I wanna know is what does character draw distance do, I've tried 1-5 and seen no difference

I think Texture filtering is for getting better textures. Sharper images.

I think draw distance is how far you can see a character/mob/npc.

1 being the nearest and 5 being the farthest.
You may also have to set the Background draw distance to go together with it.
