At a glance

  • Shaders on Fabric and NeoForge. Iris reads shader packs made for OptiFine - most work without modifications.
  • Paired with Sodium. Iris is responsible for shaders, Sodium is responsible for FPS: they are placed together.
  • Only in the game. The server does not know about it: you can play on any server.
  • Packs - in the shaderpacks folder. Enabled in the graphics settings, in the shaders section.

Where to place
