Troubleshoot Tornadoes Not Appearing or Looking Wrong

Verify Shader is Active

Confirm the shader pack is enabled in Video Settings → Shaders. The shader name should appear highlighted. If it shows "None," select Numpy's Tornado Shaders and apply.

Check Compatibility Settings

Some shader options conflict with Minecraft's built-in features:

• Disable "Fancy Clouds" in Video Settings if tornadoes appear distorted
• Ensure your graphics driver is up to date
• Verify your GPU supports the required OpenGL version (typically 4.3+)

Adjust Render Distance and Sky Settings

Tornadoes are rendered in the skybox. If they're invisible:

• Increase render distance to at least 16 chunks
• Check if a custom sky mod is overriding the shader's sky rendering
• Verify cloud height isn't set to minimum

Reset Shader Options

If visual glitches persist, locate the shader config file (usually in .minecraft/shaderpacks/) and delete the configuration file to restore defaults. Reconfigure your preferred settings from scratch.

Test in Different Biomes

Some biomes may render tornadoes differently. Try flying to plains or ocean areas where sky visibility is unobstructed.
