CRT Monitor Shaders FAQ

Open your shader settings menu in-game, navigate to the shader pack list, and select CRT Monitor Shaders from your installed packs. The effect will apply immediately to your world.

Yes, most CRT shader packs include a scanline intensity setting in the shader options menu. You can increase or decrease the visibility of the horizontal lines to match your preference.

Open the shader settings and look for a flicker or flicker intensity option—you can lower it significantly or disable it entirely without losing the other retro effects.

The curved edges are mostly visual and don't significantly impact gameplay, though some players find the distortion at screen edges takes adjustment. You can test it in a creative world first to see if it bothers you.

CRT Monitor Shaders is a post-processing effect that sits on top of your rendering, so it generally works well alongside texture packs and model mods. However, combining multiple heavy visual mods may impact performance.

Try reducing scanline intensity, disabling the screen glow, or lowering the flicker effect in the shader settings. If performance is still poor, you may need to lower your render distance or other graphics settings.

Yes, shaders are client-side only, so they work on any server without requiring the server to have the mod installed. Other players won't see your CRT effects.

Absolutely—the mod is specifically designed for this. The curved edges, scanlines, and glow effects make terminal rooms and arcade builds look authentically retro.

The shader adds a soft glow effect to bright light sources to mimic how old CRT screens displayed bright pixels. This is intentional and part of the retro aesthetic.

Most CRT shader packs allow you to toggle individual effects separately in the shader options, so you can disable the curved edges while keeping scanlines, flicker, or glow active.
