or you can manually install the iris and sodium mods in curse forge

Why would you do this? Just put shaders in the folder

(curseforge launcher, forge is a very different thing)

wait fr? ohh yeaa cuz im getting all my mods from curse forge and im confused tryna get shaders
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
curseforge is the mod website/launcher, forge is a mod loader it’s fine just confusing with them having similar names

ye ye im tryna get shaders on curse forge
ioblackshaw

get iris from here, if you’re in 1.21.8 use the 1.21.7 version they’re the same and put it in curseforge also make sure you’re using either neoforge or fabric

so just download the iris thru curse forge?
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
do the same for sodium too, it’s in the related projects bit on the iris page yea
water
waterOP3mo ago
so it all gotta be in the same group right
water
waterOP3mo ago
ye so just put everything in the same group and launch minecraft?
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
yep, well shader packs go somewhere else im not sure if curseforge launcher has a place for those, if it does then u can just put them there yeah otherwise start the game and install them through the game instead
water
waterOP3mo ago
main main game right? not the curse forge one
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
you need to launch the curseforge profile you just made
water
waterOP3mo ago
ohhh
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
cf doesn’t touch anything in the normal launcher so that would just be vanilla
water
waterOP3mo ago
ohh and to acesss the shaders in game they would be in settings right
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
should be yeah, video settings > shaderpacks or press k ingame
water
waterOP3mo ago

ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
no it won’t, it’s been around almost since the start of minecraft itself people trust it
water
waterOP3mo ago
danmg thats good to know i was really scared the first time seeing i had to sign with my microsoft acount
ioblackshaw
ioblackshaw3mo ago
ye that’s just so it can authenticate you with mojangs servers and verify you actually own the game

What is Jarfix and how does it help?
Jarfix is a tool that can be used to fix issues where .jar files don't launch with Java on double-click due to their associations being hijacked to open with another application like WinRAR or Notepad. You can download it from https://johann.loefflmann.net/downloads/jarfix.exe

I NEED HELP I try to download Iris universal Jar and it dosent install as an installer but as a word document what do I do?
a pinch of lapis
out of every program that opens a jar file, why would a program that has nothing correlated to Java open a JAR? just right click, Open with... and then select whatever program has the java logo
