This is a patron-only alpha release of Iris based on the current source code, pre-compiled for your convenience. Just drop the mods into your mods folder and play!

Feel free to share these files with your friend group and in other private places, but I ask that you do not share them publicly at this time.

What files should I download?

  • Iris with Sodium: Download the iris-0.1.0-sodium_compatibility+patreon.jar file and the sodium-0.1.0-IRIS-SNAPSHOT+patreon.jar file in the Attachments box below.
  • Iris Standalone: Download the iris-0.1.0+patreon.jar file in the Attachments box below. This build does not support Sodium.

How do I use it?

If you are having trouble getting things working, send me a private message on Patreon or Discord and I will try to help you out as best I can.

As a prerequisite, you must have Fabric Loader installed.

This guide will assume that you would like to use Sildur's Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium. If you are using a different version (High, Low, etc) you must adjust the guide accordingly. Extreme VL does not currently work!

If you haven't already, start the game with Iris.

If you can't start the game (crashes, etc), send me a message containing your latest.log file and I'll help you figure out what's going on.

While Minecraft is running:

  • Extract "Sildurs Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium.zip" to your .minecraft/shaderpacks directory
  • Go to the "Sildurs Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium/shaders/shaders.settings" file
  • Change line 6 (very close to the top) from "#define Shadows" to "//#define Shadows"
    • This disables shadows because Iris does not support shadows currently.
    • If you don't do this the terrain will look very dark!
  • Save the file and close the editor.
  • Go to the .minecraft/config directory and open the iris.properties file
  • Change "shaderPack=(internal)" to "shaderPack=Sildurs Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium"
  • Save your changes.
  • If you want grass and leaves to wave, download the modified block.properties file in Attachments and use it to replace the existing block.properties file in the "Sildurs Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium/shaders" folder. This only works with sodium_compatibility.
  • Return to Minecraft and walk around. Press the R key. You should see a "Reloaded Shaders!" message in chat. This will reload shaders, and thus load Sildur's Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium.
  • If the game crashes, you've done something wrong. Delete the "Sildurs Vibrant Shaders v1.283 Medium" directory and try again.

Known Issues

  • Water is broken on AMD and occasionally with Nvidia. This is being investigated, it appears to be related to the noise texture
  • Rain is quite broken, TAA has minor issues, shadows are not supported at all
  • Most shader packs other than Sildur's Vibrant Shaders do not work well, or at all. Use Sildur's Vibrant Shaders v1.283 with Iris.
  • There are many minor rendering bugs, especially with the Standalone version of Iris.
  • Xaero's Worldmap is incompatible at this time (item rendering bugs)
  • PhysicsMod is incompatible (crashes)
  • Light Overlay, Litematica, and the in-world shapes in MiniHud have rendering issues with Iris.
