Turn On Simplicity Shader in Minecraft Bedrock and Confirm It Works

Simplicity Shader is a resource pack for Bedrock. You switch it on from the game's resource pack menu.

Activate the pack globally

1. Launch Minecraft and open Settings from the main menu.

2. Scroll the left column and select Global Resources.

3. Open My Packs and find Simplicity Shader in the list.

4. Tap Activate. The pack moves to the Active list.

5. If you run other visual packs, put Simplicity at the top of the Active list. Packs higher in the list take priority, so another pack above it can override its look.

6. Go back to the main menu. If the screen doesn't change, close and reopen the game.

Global activation applies the shader to every world. If you only want it in one world, open that world's settings and turn it on under Resource Packs instead.

Check that it is really running

The pack changes more than in-world lighting, so you can confirm it before loading a world:

• Main menu: you should see the redesigned screen with colorful buttons.
• Loading screen: when you enter a world, a custom loading screen shows game tips and a green progress bar.
• In the world: daylight looks warmer and brighter, while blocks keep their classic vanilla style.

If the menu still looks vanilla, the pack isn't active. Recheck the Active list in Global Resources. If the menu changes but the lighting doesn't, another active pack may be overriding it. Disable other visual packs one at a time to find the conflict.
