Cinematic Linear Perspective Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select Cinematic Linear Perspective from the list. The effect applies immediately to your view.
Will this shader make my game look completely different?
No, it preserves the vanilla art style and only adjusts how the edges of your screen are projected—you'll notice straight lines stay straight, but the overall look remains the same.
What FOV setting works best with this shader?
The shader is designed to work well at any FOV, but it's especially helpful if you play at high FOV settings (80+) where fish-eye distortion is normally most noticeable.
Does this shader cause lag on weak computers?
No, it's optimized to run smoothly even on low-end PCs and potato setups without dropping frame rates.
Can I use this shader with other shaders at the same time?
No, only one shader can be active at a time in Minecraft—you'll need to choose between this one and any other shader mod.
Why do my edges still look a bit curved after enabling the shader?
The Panini projection reduces edge distortion significantly, but some subtle curvature may remain depending on your FOV—this is intentional to maintain a natural look without over-correcting.
Does this shader work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, shaders are client-side only, so they work on any server without affecting other players or requiring server permission.
Will this shader help if I get dizzy when playing at high FOV?
Yes, the motion sickness relief feature is specifically designed to reduce dizziness when looking around quickly at wide view angles by keeping straight lines natural and reducing distortion.
Can I adjust how strong the Panini projection effect is?
The shader applies a fixed Panini projection—there are no in-game sliders to adjust the strength, but you can always disable it and re-enable it as needed.
Does this shader affect performance in caves or dark areas?
No, the shader only adjusts the projection of your view and doesn't add lighting effects, so performance remains consistent in all lighting conditions.
