it's like I didn't install the mod
hello! I'm having a problem. I manually downloaded the iris mod to use in my game, and placed it in my mods folder. I open the game normally but it's like he's not there. I look in the list of installed mods and it doesn't show up either. can you help me? (sorry for mistakes. I'm using google translate.)

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.

Iris and Sodium are Fabric mods. It looks like you put Iris in the mods dir of a Forge installation. The Forge mod loader will ignore Fabric mods.
You really need to start over with a fresh mods dir, install the Fabric mod loader, then install Iris and Sodium (both are required.) The executable .jar installer will do all this, though you might need to use a different game dir or move the Forge mods somewhere else.
This is where using a different launcher makes life much easier.
(The installer will use a private mods dir if you choose Iris install, so that will not require a different game dir.)
