CineFrame Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the cinema bars after installing the mod?
Open your shader pack selection menu from Video Settings, find and select CineFrame Shaders from your installed packs, then apply it. The black bars will appear immediately on your screen.
Can I make the black bars taller or shorter?
Yes, you can adjust the bar height through the shader options menu. Access this by opening Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options while CineFrame is active, then look for height or size settings.
Do the cinema bars affect my FPS or performance?
No, CineFrame Shaders is designed as a lightweight vanilla shader that only draws the bars without processing complex lighting or effects, so it has minimal impact on frame rate.
Will the black bars show up in my screenshots?
Yes, the bars are part of your screen display, so they will appear in any screenshot you take while the shader is active. This is useful for creating cinematic screenshots without editing.
Can I use CineFrame with other shader packs?
No, you can only have one shader pack active at a time. You must choose between CineFrame or another shader pack in your Video Settings.
How do I temporarily hide the bars while still recording?
You can toggle the shader on and off through Video Settings, or use the shader options menu to disable the bars for specific moments without unloading the entire pack.
Does CineFrame work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, shader packs are client-side only, so CineFrame works on any server without needing permission or affecting other players.
Why do my bars look different on different screen resolutions?
The bar height is calculated as a percentage of your screen, so they scale proportionally with your resolution. You can adjust the position and height settings to match your preferred aspect ratio.
Can I change the color of the bars from black?
CineFrame is designed specifically to use solid black bars for the cinema effect. If you need different colors, you would need to use video editing software or a different shader pack.
Does CineFrame change how mobs, blocks, or lighting look?
No, CineFrame only adds the black frame bars and does not modify game lighting, textures, or block appearance. Your game world looks exactly the same, just with a cinematic border.
