Why isn't Bad WiFi Shaders showing up in my shaderpacks menu?
Bad WiFi Shaders runs as a vanilla shader rather than an external shaderpack, so you turn it on through the Resource Packs menu in your options. Move it into the active column on the right and click Done to apply the effect.
Do I need heavy shader mods installed for this to work?
No, it works natively in vanilla Minecraft without needing any extra mods. If you do have a shader mod installed, make sure any external shaderpacks are turned off so they do not override this pack.
Why does my game still look completely normal after turning the pack on?
An active shader mod or another resource pack is likely overriding the vanilla shader files. Disable any third-party shaders you have running and move Bad WiFi Shaders to the very top of your active Resource Packs list.
How do I trigger more visual glitches when recording a silly video?
Whip your camera around quickly and look across areas with lots of different blocks. The moving blocky pixels and blurred colors react when you look at different blocks, mimicking how a real low-bitrate stream falls apart during fast motion.
Why do the blocky pixels stop moving around as much when I stand still?
The pack imitates low-quality video compression, where visual artifacts shift mostly when the image on screen changes. Walking around or panning your view across contrasting blocks will make the pixels move and blur again.
Does Bad WiFi Shaders actually lag my internet or raise my server ping?
No, the bad connection effect is purely visual and does not affect your network or game speed. Your actual server ping, movement, and inputs work normally underneath the compressed screen.
Will other players on a multiplayer server see my screen glitching?
No, the effect only changes your own display on the client side. To prank your friends with it, share your screen in a chat call or send them a recorded clip so it looks like your stream quality is failing.
Can I use Bad WiFi Shaders together with another texture pack?
Yes, you can run it alongside standard block and item texture packs at the same time. Just place Bad WiFi Shaders above your other packs in the active Resource Packs column so nothing overwrites the shader.
Will this shader hurt my FPS on a low-end computer?
Because it runs as a simple vanilla shader instead of adding complex shadows or lighting, it requires very little extra performance. If your computer runs vanilla Minecraft smoothly, it should handle this effect without trouble.
How do I turn the blurry screen off without leaving my world?
Pause the game, open Options and then Resource Packs, and move Bad WiFi Shaders out of the active column. Clicking Done reloads your screen back to normal right away without disconnecting you from your world or server.
