Yikes, Apple M1.
Try lowering the shader profile in the shaders setting (press O for shortcut).
it should work on the High profile (which is what they are using)
besides, Complementary displays an error message if one tries to enable colored lighting, rather than failing to load
@Shampoo your Iris version is extremely old
update to 1.8.8, and sodium to 0.6.13
