Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select FancyWind and Waves from the list. The wind and water effects will activate immediately in your world.
Why aren't my plants moving?
Make sure the shader is actually selected in Video Settings > Shaders. If it's on, try moving away from the plants and back toward them, as the animation may not be obvious up close. Check that you're looking at grass, tall flowers, or leaves—other blocks won't animate.
Can I make the wind stronger or weaker?
Yes, you can adjust wind speed in the shader settings. Open the shader options (usually by clicking the settings icon next to the shader name) and look for Wind Animation Speed or a similar slider.
How do I turn off water waves if I don't want them?
Open the shader settings and find the Water Wave Effects toggle or option. You can disable it there while keeping wind animations active, or vice versa.
