Enabling the CRT Monitor Shader Pack in Game

Activating the Shader Pack

To view Minecraft through a retro display, you must select the shader pack inside your video settings using a compatible shader loader like Iris or OptiFine.

1. Press Esc to open the game menu and click Options.

2. Select Video Settings, then choose Shader Packs (or Shaders).

3. Locate CRT Monitor Shaders in your available shader list and click to activate it.

4. Click Apply or Done to return to your world.

Checking the Visual Features

Once you return to the game world, inspect the display to ensure all retro effects are functioning:

• Curved Edges: Look at the corners and borders of your display to see the curved distortion resembling a thick glass monitor.
• Scanlines: Verify that horizontal lines run evenly across your view.
• Screen Flicker and Glow: Step near light sources or bright blocks to confirm they produce a soft ambient glow, accompanied by a subtle television flicker effect.
