Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the CRT shader after installing it?
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.
Can I adjust how strong the scanlines look?
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.
The screen flicker is making me dizzy. How do I reduce it?
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.
Does the curved screen distortion affect my ability to see things clearly?
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.
