Description from the author on Modrinth

Sinus Shader is a Minecraft Optifine/Iris Shader that makes the game render in a Sine Wave.

It is an interesting distortion effect and I like sine waves. The effect is customizable, you can set the direction from horizontal(0 in V1 | 1, 2 in V2) to vertical(1 in V1 | 3, 4 in V2), the frequency and the height(amplitude).

Version 2 also features customizable movement(left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top) and the option to only apply the effect if you are under water.

This Shader is completely useless and has no reason to exist, but you can use it anyways. Maybe it could be an interesting challenge, or something, idk. Have fun with the Shader and the motion sickness it causes.

How to install Sinus Shader

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Sinus Shader in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.

A high-performance shader meant to both look good and run on low-end computers! Might have some bugs on older GPUs. Feedback is appreciated!
