Manual Installation; Help!
I'm trying to install Iris on my modded 1.21 playthrough. Everything else I have installed via Curseforge, now just shaders are missing
What works fine:
What works fine:
- I found a .jar file for iris, which should be compatible with that instance of MC. I have it from modrinth.com
- THE BIG ONE: There is no explanation for what to do with the file I downloaded., because....
- The Installation Guide is sorely out of date:
a. There's only ever written about a Fabric Enviroment.
b. In the section for manual installation, there's talk about letting an installer run. There are no files I can download, that are for neoforge, my version
(1.21) and are executable.
c. The Installer I did find (for Installation on Vanilla Profile) looks completely
different to the pictures in the guide.
Solution
- Mod jars go in the mods folder inside your modpack’s .Minecraft folder
- What John said; 1.21 is not recommended as it was quickly replaced by 1.21.1. It’s especially not recommended for NeoForge because newer versions of NeoForge Iris do not work on 1.21
- The installer can only be used for the vanilla launcher (this excludes basically all third-party launchers—CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism, etc.) and only makes a Fabric installation. There is no option to create a NeoForge installation with the installer
