How to Fix Missing Fog or Washed-Out Colors in V.O.G Shader

If you have activated V.O.G Shader on Windows, Android, iOS, Xbox, or PlayStation and the game still looks like plain vanilla Minecraft, a few quick setting adjustments will usually restore the vibrant fog and bright stars.

Fixing Missing Fog

Because V.O.G Shader generates its atmosphere using the Render Dragon fog system, having your view distance set too high will push the effect completely out of sight.

• Open Settings -> Video and locate Render Distance.
• Drop the slider to the lowest possible chunk value.
• Check your surroundings in-game; the vibrant fog should now draw clearly around you. Gradually step the slider up until you find a balance between visibility and fog thickness.

Fixing Washed-Out Skies and Stars

If the night sky looks dull or the fog appears overly faded, your gamma is likely washing out the pack's color palette:

• Go to Settings -> Video and set Brightness to 0.

• If the sky still fails to change at all, open your Active resource packs, click the gear icon on V.O.G Shader, and switch the Pack Settings slider between the Render Dragon option and the old engine option.
