While there still are limitied options I aimed to add as much customibitlity as possible giving you the ability to tweak most features to your liking :D
This shader should work with Optifine and Iris from 1.8.9 - 1.20.1, if you encounter any issues you can allways report them :D
Also from experience this shader does strain your eyes if you play with it on for hours on end.
The appearance may not be the best in images as it is best experienced in game.
Written by BouncingElf10. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick CRT Shader in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
