Composition

Composition Shaderpack

A lightweight photography & videography overlay shaderpack for Minecraft that adds configurable composition guides (Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio, diagonals, center cross, and a 9:16 frame) for screenshots and video recording. No lighting changes - overlays only.

Composition Shaderpack is an experimental photography and videography overlay shaderpack for Minecraft, built for creators who want better framing and composition when taking screenshots or recording videos.

Instead of changing lighting or visuals, this shaderpack focuses on on-screen composition guides to help you line up shots cleanly and consistently.

Features

• Rule of Thirds composition grid
• Golden Ratio guide
• Diagonal composition lines
• Center cross guide
• Optional 9:16 vertical frame, ideal for short-form and social media content

All overlays are configurable through the Iris shader settings menu.

How to Enable Overlays

1. Install Iris Shaders
2. Select Composition Shaderpack in the shader menu
3. Open Shader Options
4. Enable or disable individual overlays as needed

Overlays can be combined or used individually.
