Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the CRT shader after installing it?
Open your shader settings menu in-game, find CRT Monochrome Shaders in your shader list, and select it to activate. 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 this to make the horizontal lines more or less visible depending on your preference.
The shader makes everything too dark, how do I fix this?
Access the shader settings and look for brightness or contrast controls. Increasing brightness will help you see better while maintaining the retro monochrome effect.
