Resident Craft Shadery pre Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1

Resident-Craft

A dark horror-inspired Minecraft shader pack built for a cold, cinematic, Resident Evil-style atmosphere.

Overview

Resident-Craft is a custom shader project focused on tension, mood, and visibility control. It uses heavy fog, deep shadows, strong color grading, wet surface shading, and a flashlight-style lighting effect to create a tense survival-horror look.

Features

• Heavy atmospheric fog
• Horror-style blue/teal color grading
• Strong contrast and darkness outside the light beam
• Flashlight-inspired lighting effect
• Fog-aware lighting so distant scenery fades naturally
• Wet and damp surface tinting
• Floating spores / dust-style particles
• Film grain and vignette for a cinematic look

Best Experience

Resident-Craft is designed for:

• Dark forest environments
• Swamps, ruins, and abandoned structures
• Horror maps and adventure worlds
• Night scenes and low-light gameplay

Recommended Settings

For the intended look, use:

• Dark or night scenes
• Low to medium render distance
• Fog enabled
• Bloom or extra post-processing kept minimal if possible
• A resource pack with muted colors if you want a stronger horror tone

Compatibility

Compatible with:

• Iris
• Optifine

Performance

The shader is designed to stay lightweight enough for lower-end systems while still producing a strong visual effect. Performance may vary depending on:

• Render distance
• Scene complexity
• Particle density
• Shader loader and GPU
