Accessing the CRT Display Options
Beyond basic pixel filtering, SimplyDithered Shaders can make your game window mimic an old tube monitor. To configure these vintage screen filters, open the pause menu, navigate to Options, click Video Settings, and open your Shaders menu. With SimplyDithered Shaders active, open the pack's settings screen and look for the section controlling retro CRT monitor effects.
Toggling Scanlines and Curvature
You can customize the monitor look by adjusting two main visual effects to fit your preference:
1. Scanlines: Turn this option on to lay classic horizontal CRT lines across the entire game viewport. If the lines make distant blocks or small details feel too busy during long building sessions, turn scanlines off while keeping the rest of the shader active.
2. Screen Curvature: Enable the curved screen option to bend the edges of your display like vintage glass hardware. If you prefer straight block edges and a flat perspective near the borders of your monitor, disable curvature here.
Once you set your preferences, apply the changes and return to your world. Stand somewhere with clear contrast—such as a sunlit plains biome or a torch-lit stone room—to verify that the curved edges and scanlines feel comfortable on your eyes during normal movement.
