Where do I find the settings to customize the retro effects?
Go to your Video Settings, open the Shaders menu, and open the shader options while SimplyDithered Shaders is selected. From there, you can adjust performance presets, dithering levels, CRT effects, and color profiles.
How do I turn off the curved screen effect?
Open the shader options menu and disable the CRT curvature option. This returns your game window to a flat screen while keeping your dithering and color settings active.
How do I get rid of the lines across my screen?
Those lines are the vintage CRT scanlines included with the monitor filter. You can toggle scanlines off inside the shader settings for a cleaner picture.
How can I reduce lag while using this shader pack?
Change your performance preset in the shader options to Low or Medium. The pack provides Low, Medium, and High presets so you can scale the effects down to fit your hardware.
Can I make the pixelated dithering pattern less intense?
Yes, the dithering levels are adjustable in the shader settings. Adjusting the dithering level lets you dial back or increase the old-school pixelated color patterns across the world.
How do I change the color style or screen tint?
Look for the color profile and tint settings inside the shader options menu. Adjusting these lets you customize the color palette to match different nostalgic computer styles.
Can I use the dithering effect without the CRT monitor look?
Yes, the CRT features are optional and separate from the dithering filter. Simply turn off the scanlines and screen curvature options while leaving your preferred dithering level and color palette on.
Why do the colors in my world look limited and patterned?
SimplyDithered Shaders intentionally restricts colors and applies dithering patterns to mimic vintage computer displays. If the current look is too strong, try switching to a different color profile or adjusting the dithering level.
Does SimplyDithered Shaders work with custom resource packs?
Yes, because it applies visual filters over your entire game screen rather than replacing individual block textures. Your active resource pack will still show through with the retro dithering, color tints, and CRT effects applied on top.
Do I need this installed on a server to use it in multiplayer?
No, shader packs only change how the game renders on your own screen. You only need it enabled on your client to see the retro effects on any multiplayer server.
