CineFrame
Cinematic letterbox bars for Minecraft
Black bars at the top and bottom, like a movie. Pick a film ratio, move the bars around, soften the edges and let them pick up a little color from the scene. The rest of the picture stays vanilla. Nothing extra on screen, just the frame.
Features
- Film ratios: 1.37:1, 1.66:1, 1.85:1, 2.00:1, 2.16:1, 2.35:1, 2.39:1 and 2.76:1, or set the bar size by hand
- Three layouts: top and bottom, left and right, or a full frame
- Ready-made profiles: Classic, Cinema, Wide, Vertical, Frame, Soft, Off
- Smart color: the bars blend in the colors of the scene behind them
- Fine tuning: opacity, bar color, soft edge, shift up/down and sideways
- Hide on F1: bars can disappear when the HUD is hidden
