Troubleshooting Inactive Shaders or Display Issues
Confirming Shader Activation
If your game appears identical to unmodded Minecraft or does not display the expected rough look, verify that the shader pack is actively compiled.
1. Open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs.
2. Ensure the selection cursor is on Crust Shader and not set to (off) or (internal).
3. Click Apply or Done to force your shader loader to reload the graphics pipeline.
4. Return to the game and look closely at block surfaces. The visual presentation should look distinctly crunchy, rough, and retro.
Resolving Missing Visual Changes
If the pack fails to display correctly after applying:
1. Check whether your shader loader requires an in-game toggle key to enable shaders, or reopen the menu to re-apply the pack.
2. Return to the main menu and reload your world session to allow the lightweight visual pass to reinitialize.
3. Confirm that no conflicting texture packs or rendering overrides are forcing default display passes over the shader output.
