Contour Shaders

# Contour Shaders **Ever watched a Minecraft trailer and wondered how the mobs got those clean, vibrant outlines? Now you can bring that exact official art style into your own game.** --- ## ✦ What is Contour Shaders? Contour Shaders introduces dynamic, color-coded entity outlines to every mob, player, and dropped item in your world. Instead of a flat, intrusive black border, the outline color intelligently adapts to the entity itself—giving a Creeper a rich green outline and a Cow a deep brown border. It perfectly replicates the iconic aesthetic seen in official Minecraft trailers and promotional art. --- ## ✦ Key Features - **Intelligent Outlines**: Every mob naturally pops out from the environment without losing the game's immersive feel. - **Pixel-Perfect Scaling**: Outlines remain crisp, clean, and proportional at any render distance. - **That "Trailer" Aesthetic**: Experience your world as if you're playing inside official Minecraft artwork. - **Fully Customizable**: Easily tweak thickness, darkness, and distance falloff directly from the in-game shader options. - **Rainbow Outline Mode**: Make the outline cycle through rainbow colors, with support for animated or fixed hue. - **Built on Greatness**: Built on top of Complementary Shaders, ensuring the rest of your world still features industry-standard lighting, water, etc. --- ## 🛠️ Requirements - Minecraft Java Edition - Iris Shaders (v1.6 or higher) - A graphics card supporting OpenGL 3.3 or higher --- ## ⚙️ Settings You Can Tweak | Setting | What it does | |---|---| | Outline Thickness | How thick the outline appears | | Outline Darkness | How dark the outline color is | | Base Distance | Distance where thickness starts shrinking | | Outline on Hand | Toggle outline on your held item | | Rainbow Mode | Enable rainbow coloring on the outline | | Rainbow Animated | Toggle animated or fixed hue | | Rainbow Fixed Color | Pick a specific hue when animation is off | | Rainbow Speed | How fast the rainbow cycles | --- ## 📦 Quick Installation 1.
