How to Troubleshoot Missing 3D Leaves and Animations

Because Atlas Shader works as a texture pack that is compatible with any MCPE version, it rarely breaks across game updates. When the lush 3D leaves, saturated theme, or lightweight block animations fail to show up, the issue is almost always caused by pack load order or vanilla video toggles.

Resolving Resource Pack Conflicts

If you see the saturated vanilla-style colors on the terrain, but tree canopies still look like normal flat blocks without waving animations, another pack is overriding the leaf models:

1. Save and quit to the main menu, or open your world's Edit menu.

2. Go to Resource Packs and open the Active list.

3. Check for any other packs that modify vegetation, block models, or animations.

4. Select Atlas Shader and move it to the very top of the active list so its custom 3D leaves and block animations load last and take priority.

Fixing Missing Transparency on Leaves

If the custom 3D leaves appear with solid, opaque backgrounds instead of lush gaps between the foliage:

1. Open Settings and select the Video tab.

2. Locate the Fancy Leaves (or Fancy Graphics) toggle and turn it On.

3. Return to your world; the extra 3D leaf geometry will now render with proper transparency.

Checking Server Pack Locks

If the pack works in singleplayer but not when joining a friend's world or realm, the host likely has Require players to accept resource packs to join enabled, which disables your Global Resources for that session.
