Description from the author on Modrinth

AEON

Minecraft shaders intended to emulate the graphic design style of early tech, as well as that of certain retro sci-fi, dithered, and other minimalist styles.

Massive thanks to Alex Charlton for their webpage on "Dithering on The GPU". The code from there is the backbone of this shader.

How to install Aeon

  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 Aeon 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.
