📸 VHS Overlay

 

◽ This shader adds the classic VHS tape Overlay with REC, date and time.

◽ Also effects like Film Grain, Scan Lines, Chroma Shift.

 

❗ Overlays are not static. It's working real time. (Not real date/time of your pc but like recording time.)

 

🆕12.08.2026 new update!

  • You can customize the shader with shader options now!
  • New effects.
  • The Date/Timestamp now displays the time of your Minecraft world.
  • And I added some custom profiles.

⚠️ Requires OptiFine or Iris (Sodium).
