A simple, lightweight, retro-style shader pack for Minecraft!
retroview instantly transforms your Minecraft world with a classic retro screen look, giving everything that retro, pixelated, console feel. It’s pure visual nostalgia layered right on top of vanilla (or your favorite resource packs). No new blocks, no new mechanics. Just a charming retro filter that makes every world feel fresh and different.
If you’re craving a fun, nostalgic twist on Minecraft, retroview is perfect for you.
Created as a simple passion project to bring retro vibes back to modern Minecraft.
retroview is available to download on Modrinth and Curseforge.

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 retroview 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.
