Techniques used in hand-drawn art, in the form of a Minecraft shader.
Version 1 features a vanilla look, but with effects such as cel shading, cross hatching, emphasized (and slightly wavy) edges, and a tiny bit of blur (only in darker areas)! More features and improvements coming soon!
This shader should be very light on FPS, and was made for use on latest versions of Iris, but should work on older verisons and Optifine. Looks best with a dynamic lights mod and the Bare Bones pack. If you want the light flicker disabled, use Ari's Accessiblity Tweaks
Check out the gallery for how it looks!
Shoutout to Diamond for the name idea and icon, featuring my cat Kenny!

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 Cartoonikal 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.
