Sketch-style shader with pencil outlines and shading.
Transform your Minecraft world into a living sketchbook! This unique stylized rendering shader brings an artistic pencil-drawn aesthetic to your gameplay, featuring hand-drawn style outlines and dynamic sketch-like hatchwork that makes every block look like it was sketched by an artist.
✏️ Pencil-style outlines - Give everything a hand-drawn appearance
🎨 Dynamic hatching - Mimics traditional sketching techniques
🌈 Triple visual modes - Choose between grayscale, vibrant color, or blue pen presets

- Blue Pen - Ballpoint-pen style linework
- Painterly - Soft painted brushstrokes via a Kuwahara filter
- Outline Pencil on Paper - Heavier pencil outlines over the sketch base
- Blueprint - Technical drawing look with grid overlays
- Chalkboard - Chalk-on-slate aesthetic
- Comic - Halftone Ben-Day dot comic book look
- Textureless Comic - Comic style without paper texture
