1.19.4 Support?
I recently found this mod as I heard it would allow for shaders while using forge for other mods (as I don't believe you can use forge and optifine). However, I downloaded the iris mc 1.19.4 and it doesn't show up in MC. Is there actually support for 1.19.4? Am I doing something wrong?

Iris does not support Forge.
Iris is currently Fabric and Quilt exclusive. At the moment, there are no plans for an official Forge port. There are several reasons for this, the most pressing one being a lack of time. Support for Forge, as well as mod compatibility, diverts time away from making the Fabric/Quilt version of Iris the best it can be.
In addition, the Forge toolchain isn't really designed to play nice with mods like Iris that need to make many patches to the game code.
While there are unofficial ports, they are unaffiliated with us and we don't provide support for them in this server.

There is Oculus, an unofficial port of Iris for Forge, but it's quite outdated in terms of features and no support for it is given here
If you want the best experience (performance and shader wise) I recommend using Iris for Fabric instead
There's a lot of cool mods for Fabric and alot of Forge mods have Fabric ports already
And normally you can use Optifine with Forge. It might not be compatible yet though, I don't really follow Optifine updates anymore
Optifine is fully released for 1.19.4 and is compatible with forge
