Iris: While technically possible, I won't be doing it since this mod is a replacement for shaders and combining it with a shaderpack would look wrong.

Server lagging with Vibrancy – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Vibrancy consumes the most tick time.
