Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Datamosh Shaders after installing it?
Open your shader settings menu (usually accessible from Video Settings) and select Datamosh Shaders from the available shader list. The glitchy effects will apply immediately to your screen.
Why do the glitches look so faint or barely visible?
Glitch intensity is often tied to motion and contrast in your scene—bright, fast-moving areas show effects more clearly than dark or static ones. Try adjusting the glitch intensity setting in the shader options, or move to a more visually varied area to see the effect better.
Can I make the block size of the glitches bigger or smaller?
Yes, most shader configurations include a block size or resolution setting that lets you control how large the pixelated glitch blocks appear on screen. Smaller blocks create finer detail, while larger blocks make the effect more obvious.
Does this shader affect my FPS or cause lag?
Datamosh Shaders works as a screen filter and has minimal performance impact since it doesn't change how the world loads. If you experience lag, try reducing glitch intensity or block size, or lower your render distance in Video Settings.
