Toon Craft
Turn Minecraft into a Saturday-morning cartoon. Toon Craft swaps smooth vanilla lighting for flat, hand-drawn-style shading and draws bold ink outlines around every block, mob and edge, all in a single post-processing pass so it barely touches your FPS.
Features
- Cel-shaded lighting: light is split into a few flat bands instead of smooth gradients
- Two-tone sun/moon shading: the sunny and shady sides of blocks get a clean cartoon split
- Ink outlines: edge detection from depth and normals outlines blocks, mobs and terrain silhouettes
- Color Pop: boosted saturation for that bright animated look
- Banded cartoon sky
- Optional Cel Shadows: crisp hard-edged shadows cast by blocks (off by default to save FPS)
- Flat cartoon distance fog
Performance
Built to be light: no volumetrics, no reflections, no extra composite passes, and the shadow map is fully disabled unless you turn Cel Shadows on. Should run well on laptops and integrated graphics.
