Miniature Shader applies a tilt-shift depth-of-field effect that makes everything look like a hand-built model set. Barely any performance cost and endlessly fun for screenshots and cinematics.

How to install Miniature Shader

1. 1Install a shader loader for Minecraft 1.7.2 – 26.2 — Iris (pairs with Sodium) or OptiFine. Miniature Shader is a shaderpack, so it needs a loader to run.
2. 2Download the Miniature Shader .zip from the button above — keep it zipped. It is mirrored on MineSpecs, so there is no ad-gate or redirect.
3. 3Drop the .zip into your .minecraft/shaderpacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\shaderpacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/shaderpacks on macOS).
4. 4Launch the game, open Options → Video Settings → Shaders, and select Miniature Shader.
