Found Footage turns Minecraft into something it was never meant to be.
Inspired by old VHS tapes and analog horror, this shader adds subtle film grain, light distortion, soft camera shake and atmospheric noise that reacts to darkness. Nights feel heavier. Caves feel deeper. Empty spaces feel… wrong.
It doesn’t change the gameplay.
It changes how it feels.
Torches flicker through the grain. Distant terrain fades into haze. The world looks like it was recorded on a damaged tape you weren’t supposed to find.
Perfect for horror maps, survival playthroughs, liminal builds or anyone who wants a more immersive, uneasy atmosphere — without destroying performance.

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 Found Footage 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.
