a custom, lightweight shader pack named retropixel that transforms Minecraft into a 90s retro game, tailored specifically for Iris Shaders.

How it Works: Instead of distorting individual block textures (which caused grid-like glitches and color loss initially), the shader renders the entire game normally first, then processes the final output image as a whole.

Resolution Downscaling: The shader forces the screen into a simulated 500x700 pixel grid, creating large, chunky pixels that capture the authentic low-res feeling of retro hardware.

CRT Scanline Effect: By implementing a mathematical sine wave inside the final.fsh shader, we added horizontal dark lines (scanlines) across the screen to replicate the look of an old tube television/CRT monitor.

Color Palette Quantization: The colors are slightly compressed and stepped to give the lighting and textures a distinct, digitized 16-bit era aesthetic.
