Enabling and Selecting Deprivation Shaders

Accessing the Shader Menu

Before Deprivation Shaders can alter your world, make sure you are running Minecraft with a compatible shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine.

1. Launch the game and open the Options menu from the title screen or pause menu.

2. Navigate to Video Settings, then select the Shader Packs (or Shaders) menu.

3. If you have not added the pack yet, click Open Shader Pack Folder and place the shader file inside.

4. Locate Deprivation Shaders in the available pack list.

Applying the Retro Look

1. Click on the pack name to highlight it, then confirm the selection by clicking Apply or Done.

2. Return to your active world to view the visual transformation.

Once applied, the world adopts a gritty, eerie look reminiscent of vintage camcorders and classic video games. Block lighting, reworked ambient shading, and muted retro tones will immediately take effect across both indoor structures and open terrain.
