Check Your Cloud Setting

If your clouds still appear blocky or haven't changed, verify you're using Fancy Clouds mode, not Fast. Open Options > Video Settings and confirm the Clouds dropdown is set to Fancy. Fast mode ignores the resource pack entirely.

Verify OpenGL is Active

This pack requires OpenGL rendering to display the soft cloud shapes correctly. Check your launcher settings to ensure you're not forcing a different rendering backend. If you've customized your JVM arguments, remove any flags that override the graphics renderer.

Disable Conflicting Packs

If you have other shader packs installed—particularly Iris Shaderpacks or packs that modify cloud files—they will override this resource pack's effects. Temporarily disable or remove conflicting packs from your resource pack folder and restart the game. This pack works best as your only cloud-modifying resource.

Re-enable Improved Transparency

Make sure Improved Transparency is turned on in Video Settings for optimal softness and density.
