This is an example of the texture pack with the colors set to "minecraft" and "darkPurple" in the config.
The text may look blurry since the image is a lot smaller than ingame. To show you what the text looks like up close, this is a zoomed in look at a part of the above image.
This is more accurate to what you will see ingame. You will see it as sharp as this image, but you will still see the entire image filling up your whole screen.
This texture pack renders your game as ascii art in completely vanilla minecraft. No mods at all are required for this pack to work. However, YOU MUST HAVE GRAPHICS SET TO FABULOUS in your minecraft video settings.
The image above doesn't fully capture how it looks ingame due to scaling differences, so in order to see the pack in its full beauty you either need to look at the screenshot in fullscreen somehow or actually download the texture pack and look at it ingame.
If you have an issue, you can join my discord and ask in there. I also have frequent votes for my future texture packs, and take suggestions for packs.

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 Ascii Text Renderer 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.
