This is nice and all, but does anyone really want an ingame experience where only a tiny portion of the centre of the screen is in focus?

The nicer parts of shading are from the mods that he is using (in modified form), http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/120261-125-glsl-shaders-... and http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-125sonic-ethers-u...

It's for recording videos I'd expect.

Although nobody wants to watch a video like that either.

What if it boosted your frame rate and saved your battery?[1]

The blurry areas could be rendered at lower resolution then blurred to the final screen. I read an article where a 2D side scroller used this technique to good effect on its frame rates.

3D would require a serious mathematician to make the various edges match well enough to not be offensive.

This looks far more computationally expensive than without shaders.

That side scroller benefited because it could just draw the background/foreground sprites at a lower resolution before blurring. You wouldn't be able to get that luxury easily with a 3D game.

I think a pretty great sandbox game could be made out of this effect alone.

Very nice! I doubt my old MacBook pro can tolerate much more in minecraft, sad to say.

Is it just me, or does the video jerk every second?

This one does the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbUyO9goxM&feature=relmf...
