How to Enable the CRT Monitor Effect in Base Minecraft

Loading the Pack in Resource Packs

Because this pack runs directly in the base game as a vanilla shader pack, you enable it through the standard resource pack menu rather than a separate shader loader menu.

1. Pause the game or start from the title screen and open Options.

2. Select Resource Packs to view your installed packs.

3. Find the CRT shader pack in the Available column on the left and click its arrow icon to move it into the Selected column on the right.

4. Move the pack to the top of the Selected list so no other resource pack overrides its screen effect.

5.

Verifying Your Video Settings

Once the resource reload finishes, your screen should immediately display the classic tube television look. If the monitor effect does not trigger right away, check your base graphics configuration:

1. Open Options and go to Video Settings.

2. Change the Graphics toggle from *Fast* to *Fancy* or *Fabulous!*, as vanilla screen shaders rely on standard or advanced rendering passes to draw over the viewport.

3. Click Done to return to your world with the retro television display active.
