Troubleshoot Fantasy Vanilla Beta Bugs and Missing Effects

The pack and Bedrock's deferred renderer are both in beta, so odd visuals are expected. Before you assume something is broken, work through these checks.

Shader isn't showing at all

1. Check your game build. The pack only supports specific Bedrock beta versions. On a normal release build, effects may not appear.

2. Check deferred rendering. Open Settings → Video and confirm the deferred option is enabled. Restart the game afterward.

3. Check pack order. In Global Resources or the world's Resource Packs, Fantasy Vanilla should be at the top. Texture packs placed above it can override it.

4. Check for duplicates. Keep only one version active, either the full pack or Performance.

Something looks wrong

• Glitches, flickering, or odd shadows: these may be known beta bugs. Try reloading the world or toggling the pack off and on.
• Water or plants look different than in screenshots: you may have the Performance version active, which changes these features on purpose.
• Crashes or heavy lag: your device may be below what deferred rendering needs. Try the Performance version and lower your render distance.

Some problems come from Mojang's renderer itself rather than the pack. If none of the steps above help, deactivate the pack and play normally for now. Beta issues are expected to be fixed in future updates of both the pack and the game.
