It changes blocks, items, mobs, and the environment into a text-based display right inside vanilla Minecraft.
Features:
- Text-Based Graphics: Replaces normal game textures with ASCII characters like letters and symbols.
- Changes how blocks and items look by turning them into text patterns.
- Applies the text effect to all mobs and creatures you meet.
- Modifies the environment so the sky, ground, and water match the new retro style.
- Uses core shaders to create this look directly in the game.
