ViCeR
by pero_sk
With ViCeR installed, the game screen takes on a VHS tape look, with a recording overlay drawn across the first-person view.
What it does
ViCeR adds a VHS style overlay that plays over the first-person view, so the whole game looks like a recording from a worn video tape. A locking option can keep the player in first person for a survival run, and a command lets players adjust the look of the overlay while playing.
Its settings cover the tape effect itself: a toggle turns the VHS overlay off, a suboption switches between a fixed preset time and real time synced with the world, and a long digit display shows the date on the tape. Installation needs only Forge; the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge for six game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 2.2.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
