Holo is a lightweight post-processing shader that applies a full-screen visual pass, converting the entire scene into a clean cyan-blue holographic projection. Instead of modifying Minecraft's lighting engine, it remaps image luminance into a stylized holographic color palette while edge detection highlights object silhouettes. The result is a crisp sci-fi look ideal for screenshots, cinematic recordings, and futuristic builds, all without the overhead of a complex rendering pipeline.

This shader addresses the need for a simple, performance-friendly way to achieve a holographic aesthetic without sacrificing frame rates or altering vanilla visuals. It’s particularly suited for builders who want to showcase their creations in a tron-like style, content creators looking for quick cinematic flair, and players on low-end hardware who still desire a distinctive look. Because it’s pure post-processing, it works seamlessly with any resource pack and mod setup.

Holographic Color Grading: Calculates luminance from the original frame and remaps it into a cyan and blue palette, preserving recognizable depth and lighting.
Edge Glow Detection: A screen-space edge detection pass compares neighboring pixel luminance to add glowing outlines around visible objects, enhancing the holographic silhouette effect.
Minimal Performance Cost: A single full-screen shader pass with no shadow maps, reflections, or volumetric calculations ensures playable frame rates even on integrated graphics.
Vanilla-Friendly Visuals: Does not alter the game's lighting conditions—only the final image is processed—so it pairs with any resource pack or visual mod without conflicts.
Quick Setup, Instant Style: No complex configuration required; enable the shader and see the world transformed into a holographic display immediately.

Requirements: A shader loader such as OptiFine or Iris is needed. The post-processing nature keeps demand extremely low, making it suitable for "potato" PCs while still delivering a consistent holographic look.
