Description from the author on Modrinth

Round World is a Light-Weight shader that adds a slight visual curve to the world.
It is FAR more noticable in-game than in the screenshots.

You can Set the curvature level in Shader options, even having a reverse curvature!

Written by Ghouldubs. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.

How to install Round World

  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 Round World 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.
