    About

    SketchBound is a stylized Minecraft shader that gives the world a hand-drawn look with pencil-like outlines and dynamic hatching. Its nine built-in styles include graphite-like Pencil on Paper, Colorful Sketch, Blue Pen, Painterly brushstrokes, Blueprint with a world grid, Chalkboard, and Comic styles with Ben-Day dots, including a textureless comic option. Settings let players customize the visual treatment, including pencil and paper colors, while the styles range from textured sketchbook effects to clean, texture-free designs.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a shader cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · Both latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A shader has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    AI was used for its text

    The author declares AI text on Modrinth.

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
