Cursed Descent Shaders fills the screen with rapid visual shifts, color warps and glitches that intensify over time. That is the point of the pack, but it can be intense. Set yourself up so you can stop quickly.
Before You Start
- Use caution if you are sensitive to flashing or flickering images. Rapid visual shifts are a stated feature. If you have any history of photosensitivity, consider skipping the pack or keeping sessions very short.
- Play in a well-lit room rather than in the dark to reduce eye strain.
- Learn exactly where you turned the pack on, whether in Resource Packs or in your loader's Shader Packs screen. That is where you turn it off.
During and After a Session
1. Take regular breaks. Pause, look away from the screen and rest your eyes.
2. Stop if you feel dizzy, nauseous or get a headache. Don't push through because the run is going well.
3. To get normal visuals back:
- Press Esc and open Options.
- Go to the menu where you enabled the pack and deselect it, or switch to no shaders.
- Confirm, then let the game reload.
4. Check whether the escalation restarts. When you re-enable the pack later, watch whether it starts from calm again or not. That tells you how to plan longer challenge runs.
