Karma Cartoon Shader

Karma Cartoon Shader is a hand-crafted, cel-shaded shaderpack that transforms Minecraft into a playable animated film. Designed to be both visually striking and lightweight, it replaces realistic rendering with clean, stylized art lines and vibrant, flat-painted colors—all while keeping your performance smooth.


  • Cel-Shaded Lighting: Sunlight, shadows, and block light are quantized into clean, distinctive toon bands.
  • Ink Outlines: Intelligent edge detection draws a sharp, scene-tinted outline around blocks and silhouettes (excludes your hand/held items).
  • Toon Water: Flat-painted water colors with an animated white foam line tracing the shores and a single hard, painted sun gleam.
  • Painted Skies: Custom smooth backdrop gradients, a crisp sun disc with halo rings, and flat-shaded volumetric voxel clouds.
  • Nether (Crimson Cartoon): Features a flat crimson vault, a giant breathing lava orb with drawn rings, and ink-rimmed smoke clouds.
  • The End (Violet Void): A swirling galaxy crown rotating overhead, hard aurora ribbons, and a drawn window portal into the void.

⚙️ In-Game Customization

You can easily adjust the cartoon aesthetics directly from the shader settings screen:

  • Toon Bands: Toggle between 2, 3, or 4 levels of light banding.
  • Outline Strength & Thickness: Customize or turn off the ink lines.
  • Posterization: Flatten screen luminance values for a cleaner "flat-paint" look.
