Previews

Titan Eye from deltarune. All 500 of them, looking straight at you. At all time. This is why it's called Paranoia.

a great way to passively remain aware of your suroundings at all time.

Omori's HeadSpace, with the little drawing in the sky.

a safe place that you can home, anywhere in your world !

A red grid, inspired by Tron. Great for events taking place in a small space to give a simulation-like feeling.

The heatmap of the infamous NoCom exploit from 2b2t, in 8K.

Can also look like Gojo's Domain Expansion if you want.

How to install Paranoia Shader

  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 Paranoia Shader 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.
