Enabling and Applying Datamosh Shaders

Loading the Screen Filter

To turn on Datamosh Shaders, ensure you have a compatible shader loader (such as Iris or OptiFine) active in your client. From the main menu or pause screen, navigate to Options, select Video Settings, and open the Shader Packs menu. Highlight the Datamosh Shaders pack in your list, click to select it, and confirm your selection to apply the changes.

Verifying the Broken Video Effect

Once loaded into your world, the display will instantly transform into a corrupted video aesthetic:

• Pixel Grid Separation: The screen divides into small, distinct pixel blocks.
• Color Degradation: Colors lose fidelity and bleed into neighboring areas, creating a smeared, messy palette.
• Compression Borders: Sharp, high-contrast dark and light lines appear around block boundaries.

Because Datamosh Shaders operates strictly as a post-processing screen filter, it will not recalculate or replace actual world block geometry, vanilla sun positions, or standard shadow passes. The glitching is overlaid directly on top of your standard view.
