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.
