Gray Wobbly World Shaders is meant to be confusing. The constant screen warping can also be uncomfortable for some players. Here is how to switch it off quickly and how to sort out the most common problems.
Switching It Off
1. Press Esc and open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs.
2. Select a different shader pack, or choose the option for no shaders.
3. Click Apply or Done.
The game returns to full color with a steady view. Your world is not changed in any way, because the shader only affects how things look.
If the warping makes you feel dizzy or sick, take it off right away and look away from the screen for a bit. You can always turn it back on later.
Troubleshooting
- No Shader Packs button in Video Settings: No shader loader is installed. You need Iris or OptiFine to run shader packs.
- Pack not in the list: Make sure the file is in the
shaderpacksfolder, not theresourcepacksfolder. Use the Open Shader Pack Folder button to get to the right place. - Gray, but not wobbling: The warp happens while you walk around. Move forward a few blocks to see it.
- Still in color: The pack is in the list but not selected. Click it and apply it again.
- Effect gone after a restart: Open the Shader Packs screen and check which pack is currently selected.
