About this Mod

Deprecated!

Iris has merged in a proper shaderpack selection menu. I suggest recompiling Iris and switching to it!

Iris Explorer

A resourcepack-screen solution for shaderpack selection in the Iris mod compatible with Sodium.

This mod depends on Iris!

Showcase

Installation

To be able to use this mod with Sodium, you'll need to compile the compatibility branch of Iris for Sodium and the Sodium fork by IrisShaders.

Just clone or download the source code on github and run ./gradlew build inside their project. The Sodium fork by IrisShaders requires the Iris.jar in the project folder /build/loom-cache, so make sure to compile Iris first and move/copy the jar to that path.

Iris Explorer server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Iris Explorer compatible with fabric?

Iris Explorer officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.16.5, 1.16.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Iris Explorer – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Iris Explorer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
