hey what's going on everyone it's steve here back with a short tutorial video huge shout out to ram on my discord server who told me this secret method for installing shaders without optifabric so without further ado let's get into it there's multiple reasons why you may not want to use optifine or optifabric but the big one for most people on my origins smp server is because origins plus the mod uses satin api which is incompatible with shaders there's loads of mods out there that use saturn api so odds are that's probably why you're here for this video today we're looking at a mod called iris shaders this mod has its own installer but in my opinion using the curseforge download is a little easier to understand this mod basically lets you use shaders with almost any fabric mod pack you're playing so the first thing we're going to do is obviously download iris shaders from what i can see it's only version NUMBER_TOKENNUMBER_TOKEN if there's newer versions out that's great just make sure it matches the minecraft version you're playing on from there we're going to try and find the mods folder for whatever modpack you're using if you're using your own fabric launcher you should know what your mods folder is in this case i'm using my official modpack uh you can try it out on the curseforge launcher and if you're into origins we have a dedicated origin snp server graciously sponsored by bisect hosting the links will be in the description if you're interested but if you use code steve at checkout you can get NUMBER_TOKEN off your first purchase okay hopefully you're in your launcher files or your modpack files long story short hopefully you have found the mods folder iris shaders has sodium built into it if you do not delete sodium or the sodium mod is in your mod folder in any way you will crash that is the only complication you will run into with this mod sodium is built into iris shaders lithium is fine phosphor is fine just get rid of sodium if you have it in your mods folder okay so once you have iris shaders in your mods folder and sodium deleted hopefully i was clear about that uh you're just gonna launch your client like you normally would from there i would recommend loading up a new world um in the background you're gonna see me load into my origin smp server you can configure shaders from the main menu if you want to and if you maybe have a slower computer that might be a good idea but regardless if you're on the main menu or you're inside a world the directions are the same so you're going to go to video settings and you're going to see a new interface and it should look like this you should also see a tab at the top called shader packs you want to click that button and then you're going to open the shader pack folder you're going to drag and drop whatever shaders you want just make sure the shaders are for the right minecraft version obviously in this case the mod pack is NUMBER_TOKENNUMBER_TOKEN so the shaders are also NUMBER_TOKENNUMBER_TOKEN once you've dragged and dropped your new shaders press the refresh shaders
