DreadFrame
DreadFrame is a horror-focused Minecraft shader pack that transforms the game world into a harsh red-and-black nightmare. It was originally created for a horror mod project and is intended to make exploration feel oppressive, hostile, and difficult to read at a glance.
The shader changes only in-world rendering. Menus, HUD elements, and other interface changes shown in related horror-mod footage are not part of this shader pack.

- Strong depth and texture outlines
- Dry-brush and screen-print ink erosion
- Torn vignette with a heartbeat pulse
- Chromatic aberration, grain, pinholes, and scanlines
- Optional world-locked ink texture
- No shadow map or normal buffer
Requirements
