​⚠️ WARNING: UNSETTLING VISUAL EXPERIENCE ⚠️

​Welcome to Bleak Shader, a unique post-processing shader pack created to transform Minecraft into a pitch-black, nostalgic, and deeply disturbing psychological horror experience.

​Inspired by analog horror web series, found footage tapes, VHS recording artifacts, and liminal space aesthetic, this shader overhauls light, color, and texture to create an unbearable atmosphere of dread.

​🎥 Key Features

​Retro CRT & VHS Distortion: Authentic scanlines, curved screen edges (vignette/lens distortion), subtle chromatic aberration, and tape noise grain.

​Oppressive Atmospheric Lighting: Heavily muted, sickly pale sunlight that transitions into pure pitch-black darkness when night falls or shadows hit.

​Liminal Space Yellow & Pitch Black: Custom color grading tailored for indoor mazes, endless corridors, and haunting night scenes.

​Glowing Entities & Artifacts: High-contrast emission effects for glowing eyes, sun/moon anomalies, and mysterious red indicators in the dark.

​Lightweight & Fast Performance: Designed to maintain smooth frame rates without heavy hardware overhead.
