Better Pvp Visual Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does this pack work with shaders?
Yes, Better PvP Visual Resource Pack is compatible with most shader packs. The 3D models for items like the mace and end crystals will display correctly, though visual effects may vary depending on your shader settings.
Will the smoke removal affect my ability to see lava or water?
No, the pack only removes smoke from explosions, campfires, and fire—it does not hide lava or water. You'll still see these hazards clearly.
Can I turn off specific features like the dark menus?
Better PvP Visual Resource Pack applies all changes as a complete pack, so you cannot toggle individual features. If you want to disable certain changes, you would need to create a custom variant or use another pack alongside it.
Does the totem shrink affect how I see other players' totems?
Yes, totems appear smaller for all players in your world, making it easier to see past them during combat without blocking your view of enemies.
What happens to the totem animation when it activates?
The pack reduces the giant flash and particle effects from totem activation, so your screen stays clearer when you or another player pops a totem during a fight.
Does this pack change how armor looks on other players?
Yes, armor textures are cleaned up so you can quickly identify what gear other players are wearing without visual clutter.
Will the 
powder snow warning marks appear in multiplayer?
The bright exclamation marks over powder snow are a visual change on your client only, so only you will see them—they won't appear for other players.

No, the pack updates redstone dust to make it clearer for building farms, separate from smoke removal. Redstone will be easier to see and work with.
Is the carved pumpkin blur completely gone?
The pack shrinks the dark blur effect when wearing a carved pumpkin, making it less obstructive, though some visual effect remains to maintain the mechanic.
Does this pack affect performance or FPS?
Better PvP Visual Resource Pack is lightweight and should not noticeably impact performance, though adding 3D models for items may have a minor effect on very low-end systems.
