Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the pumpkin heads?
This pack runs on Minecraft's core shaders system, so you enable it from the Resource Packs menu rather than a separate shader menu. Move it to the active side, apply it, and every mob and player you can see should get a carved pumpkin on its head.
Do my friends see the pumpkin heads too on a multiplayer server?
Only if each of them has the pack active. It is a visual change on your own screen and does not alter anything on the server. For a group Halloween event, have everyone enable it before you start.
Pumpkin heads aren't showing up, what's wrong?
First check that the pack is on the active side of the Resource Packs menu and that you applied the change. If it still doesn't show, another active pack that also changes core shaders may be overriding it, so try putting this pack at the top of the list or turning other packs off. Shader mods that replace vanilla rendering can also stop core shaders from working.
Does it work with OptiFine or Iris shader packs?
Core shaders and shader-mod shader packs work differently, and a shader mod running its own pack can bypass or break core shader effects. If the pumpkins disappear when you load a shader mod's pack, turn that pack off while you use this one.
