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.

Visual effects

• Stark red-and-black color grading
• 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

• Iris
• Sodium is recommended
• Designed for Minecraft 1.21.x and newer
• Tested with Iris 1.11.1 and Sodium 0.9.0

Other versions may work, but have not been tested.

Installation

1. Download DreadFrame_v2.zip.
2. Place the ZIP file in the .minecraft/shaderpacks folder without extracting it.
3. Open Minecraft and select DreadFrame from Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs.

Profiles and settings

Use the in-game shader settings to switch profiles and adjust visibility, darkness, outlines, pulse, grain, dry-brush strength, and other effects. The PLAYABLE profile is intended for normal gameplay, while SCREENSHOT and WOODCUT push the presentation further.
