About the mod

What Iris Shaders changes

Iris provides a shader-pack loader for Minecraft Java Edition, with support for many packs originally designed for OptiFine.

Shader packs are separate downloads. The project screenshots show results with named shader packs, not effects supplied by Iris alone. Check each pack and loader version for compatibility.

187,720,965 downloads recorded by Modrinth on October 10, 2026. Downloads are not unique players.

Installation
