Description from the author on Modrinth

I am currently inactive on this project at the moment, and new updates may be extremely delayed

Important info:

This RP does not contain any creepy/scary content or jumpscares. It only contains shader effects and only intends to just make the atmosphere more spooky feeling.

This RP does not work with optifine or sodium.

About the pack

Spook is a resource pack making use of core shaders to add a spooky vibe to the game, without having to use optifine/iris.

What this RP adds:

  • Desaturated colour with red tint
  • A red UI
  • A dark, close fog around the player
  • Slight effects to mobs with emissive eye rendering

Known issues:

  • Items held are completely black on inventory preview
  • Fog does not apply to sign text
  • Objects may ignore fog at large distances from player

Written by Electronacl. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.

How to install Spook

  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 Spook 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.
