Description from the author on Modrinth

Comic Shaders

A shader pack that emulates the look of classic comic books. Most of the effects in the pack are customizable in the in-game settings menu to achieve your desired appearance.

I highly recommend using the texture pack Bare Bones in conjunction with the shader pack.

Features

  • Ben-Day dots
  • Outlines
  • Color correction
  • Quantization
  • Color separation
  • (Experimental) reduced framerate for entities

How to install Comic Shaders

  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 Comic Shaders 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.
