Iris Shaders

Iris Shaders is a Minecraft mod that brings a new era of Minecraft graphics by letting you use shader packs with modern versions of the game while avoiding many of the limitations of traditional shader loaders like OptiFine. It is designed with great mod compatibility so it works smoothly with your favorite mods and optimization tools. Iris has a modern design built from the ground up to be extensible and easy to update, letting you use shaders on new Minecraft versions without long waits. The mod is free and open source, allowing anyone to contribute to its ongoing improvement. Iris aims for full support for past and present OptiFine shaderpacks and its list of supported packs continues to grow. It works with optimization mods such as Sodium and Phosphor, enabling stunning graphics at frame rates that can match or even exceed unmodded Minecraft performance. Iris uses advanced rendering techniques like performance-optimized shadows through shadow frustum culling and efficient entity rendering that can boost performance even with shaders disabled. Iris is developed by a collaborative community project focused on making the Minecraft shaders experience the best it can be.
