No Pumpkin Blur Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off the pumpkin blur?
Equip the No Pumpkin Blur resource pack in your resource pack list and make sure it sits above any pack that also edits the pumpkin overlay. Once enabled, wearing a carved pumpkin no longer darkens your screen.
Does this resource pack work in vanilla Minecraft or only with mods?
It's a resource pack, so it works in vanilla Minecraft and doesn't require Forge, Fabric, or any other mod loader. Just enable it like any other pack.
Why is my pumpkin blur still there after installing the pack?
Another resource pack loaded above it is probably overriding the pumpkin overlay texture. Move No Pumpkin Blur to the top of your pack list, or remove the conflicting pack.
Can I still see the pumpkin on my head with this pack?
Yes, the carved pumpkin still renders on your character and in third-person view. Only the first-person blur overlay is removed, so other players still see you wearing it.
Does no pumpkin blur work on servers and in multiplayer?
Yes, it's client-side only, so it works on any server without the server needing to install anything. Other players won't be affected by your pack.
Is this allowed on pvp servers or is it cheating?
It's a visual resource pack, not a hack, and most servers allow it since it only changes your own screen overlay. Check your specific server's rules if you're unsure.
Does the pack affect performance or fps?
No, it only swaps a single overlay texture, so there's no measurable impact on performance. If anything, removing the blur can make PvP feel smoother visually.
Can I use this with shaders or other resource packs?
Yes, it stacks with shaders and other packs as long as it's placed above any pack that also edits the pumpkin blur. Shaders don't touch the pumpkin overlay, so there's no conflict.
Does it work in every Minecraft version?
It works in versions that use the standard pumpkin blur overlay texture. If a version changes how the overlay is rendered, the pack may need an update to match.
Do I need to wear the pumpkin for the pack to do anything?
Yes, the pack only changes what you see while a carved pumpkin is equipped on your head. With no pumpkin on, there's nothing to remove and the pack is effectively idle.
