Ink Shader tries to visualise Minecraft as if it was printed with ink!

Current features include:

  • Color Customisation
  • Blur Effect
  • Stippling
  • Edge Detection
  • and more!

This shader was heavily inspired on Acerolas video and uses the paper asset that he uses

I mostly tested on Iris 1.21, other versions might not work. If you find any bugs or incompatibilities, you can always report them, it helps me and others out :D
