⨠ Notes

Despite what the versions may say, all MC VHS versions 2 and above will work on most versions of Iris (and probably Optifine, though I haven't tested). It would be a hassle to constantly update what versions it supports, so I'm just saying it here. Thanks for using my shader!

⨠ What is MC VHS?

MC VHS is a Minecraft shader, duh. Jokes aside, this shader aims to apply a somewhat realistic VHS filter to the game itself, as opposed to a filter applied in post. Compared to other shaders which incorporate VHS effects, this shader aims to be a bit more realistic than just "slap on some chromatic aberration and scanlines", which I will expand upon in "What does MC VHS do?". Whether you use it for an ARG, nostalgia bait or what have you, so long as my work is used for something creative, I'm happy.

⨠ What does MC VHS do?

Here I'll talk a bit more in-depth about the features and how it works.

First off, as stated previously, MC VHS is a slightly more realistic VHS effect for minecraft. Whereas most other effects will use some combination of chromatic aberration, scanlines and distortions, my shader tries to emulate how videos are compressed, the main features being compression in the YIQ colour space, colour & luminance noise, post-sharpening and interlacing.

⨠ What next?

Sorry it took so long for this, I really was in college, but I have also had Version 2 on my hard drive for quite a while now so there isn't much of an excuse... I won't promise I'll update this to the extent I was doing, I may add some features in the future, or mess around with it a bit, but not as much.
