Depth of Field

Depth of Field is a Minecraft shader that adds a realistic camera-like focus effect to your game. It keeps your subject sharp while smoothly blurring the surroundings, making your screenshots, cinematics, and gameplay look more cinematic.

Everything is customizable through the shader settings, so you can adjust the focus, blur strength, and quality to your liking.
