Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Bad Shaders?
Open your video settings, go to the shader pack menu, select Bad Shaders from the list and apply it. Then look up at the sky, where the Bad Apple animation plays on the clouds.
Where exactly does the Bad Apple video show up?
It plays on the clouds. Bad Shaders replaces the normal blocky cloud rendering with the black and white animation frames, so you have to look up at the sky to see it.
I turned on Bad Shaders Minecraft but the sky looks normal, why?
Check that clouds are enabled in your video settings, because the animation is drawn where the clouds would be. If clouds are switched off, there is nothing for the video to replace. Also confirm that Bad Shaders is the active shader pack and not just highlighted in the list.
Does Bad Shaders play the Bad Apple music too?
The mod is described as a visual effect: it shows the monochrome animation frame by frame on the clouds. Don't expect it to replace your game audio.
