No "shader packs" option in fabric 1.21.8

Hi! I am new here, and need a bit of help. I have installed fabric, fabric api, DH (2.3.4), installed iris for 1.21.8, and have sodium installed as well. Along with this, I downloaded a version of Bliss shaders marked as compatible, being the most recent "stable" version. When MC is launched via fabric, DH is up and good to go, but I have no way to access shader packs, whether via video settings / options nor the "O" key. When the game is launched via IRIS, i have options for shaders but obviously no DH as not launched via fabric. I originally had Indium installed (latest version) as I read this was needed, but further digging I found this is no longer needed. Thanks in advance for any help!

You used the iris installer? The most recent bliss stable version is not compatible, btw. But one issue at a time

If you use Iris installed you have to put other mods in Iris specific mods folder It would be much better though if you would just install the Iris mod in the fabric instance The most recent stale version is compatible Stable has been compatible for some time, same for Unstable it is only the release versions that do not yet have DH support Bliss naming scheme is terrible

I installed Iris for 1.21.8; tried launching via fabric and Iris. launching thru fabric gives me DH but no shaders, launching via Iris installation allows shaders but no DH, if that makes sense :) more than willing to do a quick call and screen share if it makes it easier, but no pressure

Right now it is: - Release: Modrinth and Github relaseses - Stable: GitHub Stable branch - Unstable: GitHub Unstable branch + all the forks, that is: Merlin's Eclips, Waterforce's Bliss BSPT, mine Oasis and 2 other smaller ones

Both installations are separate, download the Iris mod and put it in the fabric instance mods fodler, the same place you've put DH Don't use Iris installer

I think I follow ya, but to be clear is this the Iris-installer jar file, or a separate mod? assuming not the installation file but want to be sure

Separte mod, you can get it on Modrinth or CurseForge Or move it from Iris's mods forlder into the normal fabric one
