download Skip to Downloads

White Sharp Shaders (1.21.8, 1.20.1) offers a unique visual experience by turning your Minecraft world into a bold, high-contrast black-and-white landscape. Instead of soft lighting or realistic shadows like most shaders, this pack completely removes color and detail, leaving behind only stark black surfaces outlined with crisp white edges. The result is a clean, minimalist line art aesthetic that looks like it’s been sketched by hand. This shader is especially useful for those who want stylized screenshots, art projects, or image mask layers for editing. It’s a lightweight shader that doesn’t rely on complex lighting effects, making it ideal for both aesthetic experimentation and technical use. Compatible with most modern Minecraft versions, it brings a creative twist to the way you visualize your builds and landscapes.
