download Skip to Downloads

Ink Shader Shaders (1.21.7, 1.20.1) introduces a completely new way to experience Minecraft by rendering the entire world in a bold, monochromatic sketch style. Inspired by hand-drawn ink illustrations and comic book aesthetics, this shader replaces realistic lighting and textures with thick outlines, hard shadows, and high-contrast visual elements. The result is a stunning, stylistic Minecraft experience that feels more like playing inside a graphic novel than a sandbox game.

Compatible with Minecraft versions from 1.20.1 to 1.21.7, Ink Shader is designed for those who enjoy artistic visuals and want to explore Minecraft through a uniquely stylized lens. Whether you’re building minimalist structures or creating scenes for cinematic storytelling, this shader pack turns every landscape into a page out of a comic book.

Features:

  • Monochromatic Sketch Aesthetic: Transforms the entire world into black-and-white or grayscale tones with stylized ink-like shading.
  • Bold Object Outlines: All blocks and entities are surrounded with thick outlines for a cell-shaded look.
  • High Contrast Rendering: Light and shadow are exaggerated to deliver a dramatic and moody atmosphere.
  • Minimal Color Use: Reduces most natural color, reinforcing the visual theme of ink and sketch.
  • Artistic World Design: Makes builds and natural terrain appear like they were drawn with a pen ideal for creators, animators, or roleplayers.
  • Lightweight Performance: Since the shader relies on stylistic tricks rather than heavy post-processing, it performs well even on mid-range hardware.
  • Compatible with OptiFine and Iris: Works seamlessly with both major shader loading platforms for Minecraft Java Edition.
