About this Mod
IRIS/OCULUS ADD-ON. THIS IS NOT A SHADER LOADER.
A mod that lets you hide, filter, recolor, rename, add tooltips, and reorder specific shader packs in the Iris/Oculus shaders menu using flexible patterns.
This mod does NOT load shaders! It only organizes and customizes the shader selection menu.
📝 Why use this mod?
Tired of scrolling through a messy shader list? Want to hide test packs, old versions, recolor names, add tooltips, or put your favorites at the top? Or maybe even remove all underscores?
Iris Shader Folder Mod lets you filter out unwanted shader packs, organize the menu, recolor names, and add custom tooltips making your shader selection fast, clean, and personal.
Features
- Hide shader packs by name, version, or regex pattern
- Reorder shader packs in the menu using patterns and positions
- Recolor shader pack names or parts of names with Minecraft color codes
- Edit shader names without changing the actual file names.
- Add custom tooltips to shader packs in the menu
- Supports both modern and legacy Iris versions and also Oculus
- Real-time config reloading (no restart required)
- Debug logging to file for troubleshooting
For Shaderpack Developers
Add your own tooltips easily!
Add a shaderDescription=Your Description line to /shaders/lang/en_us.lang (and any other language file to translate it).
Configuration
Edit the config file at:config/iris_shader_folder.properties
Example filter section:
filterStart:[
test
{.*}Outdated{.*}
ComplementaryShaders_r{version}
]:filterEnd
- Each line is a filter pattern.
- Use
{version}as a shortcut for version numbers (e.g., 1.2.3). - Use
{...}to insert raw regex (e.g.,Outdated{.*(shader|Reimagined)}). - Patterns match both folders and .zip shader packs.
Example reorder section:
reorderStart:[
{.*}EuphoriaPatches{.*}
Complementary{.*}_r{version}
BSL{.*}
[!]Outdated{.*}
]:reorderEnd
- The order of lines determines the order in the menu (top line = first position, etc.).
- If a shaderpack matches multiple patterns, the first matching pattern wins and subsequent patterns skip that shader.
- Use the
[!]prefix to force a pattern to match even if the shader was already matched by a previous rule.- Example:
[!]Outdated{.*}will move any shader with "Outdated" in its name to position 4, even if it was already matched by an earlier pattern.
- Example:
- Patterns support
{version}and custom regex in braces. - Patterns match both folders and .zip shader packs.
Example recolor section:
recolorStart:[
Complementary{.*} [|] Comp [->] red [|] {version} [->] §6
{.*}EuphoriaPatches{.*} [|] EuphoriaPatches_{version} [->] light_purple
test [|] {all} [->] red
]:recolorEnd
- Recolor the whole name or just parts using Minecraft color names or codes.
{all}recolors the entire name.- Multiple recolor rules can be combined per line.
Example rename section:
renameStart:[
{all} [|] _ [->] { }
Complementary{.*} [|] Complementary [->] Comp
test [|] {all} [->] Test Shader
]:renameEnd
- Rename shader pack names or just parts using flexible patterns.
{all}renames the entire name.- Use
{ }to insert a whitespace character as a replacement. - Format:
shader_pattern [|] part_pattern [->] replacement [|] part_pattern2 [->] replacement2 .... - Multiple rename rules can be combined per line.
Example tooltip section:
tooltipStart:[
Complementary{.*} [|] Complementary is a shaderpack focused on performance and visual quality.
test [|] This is a test shaderpack.
]:tooltipEnd
- Add custom tooltip text for any shader pack.
- Tooltips appear when hovering over the shader in the menu.

Does Iris/Oculus Shader Folder need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Iris/Oculus Shader Folder as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Iris/Oculus Shader Folder require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.2-rc-2, 26.2-rc-1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Iris/Oculus Shader Folder is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
