How to install the beta versions?

How do you go about installing the public test versions of Iris? Java won't open the jar files, throwing the error "A Java Exception has occured." Release version installer works just fine. Cannot find any documentation of how to install the test versions.

they aren't installers, they are mods. They go in the mods folder

So just creating a mods folder in .minecraft and plopping that sucker in there should do the magic trick?

no, you must install fabric from https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/
Fabric
Installation for Minecraft Launcher
The home of the Fabric mod development toolchain.

once you run the installer you'll have a fabric profile in the launcher. Launch it to generate the mods folder, then put sodium and iris in there and restart the game

The iris installer can install fabric loader as well if you select it

Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
you've already installed sodium and iris, you just need a shaderpack. Download a shaderpack (Complementary Shaders is the most recommended), put it in your shaderpacks folder, then enable the shaders from your video settings

lagged_lmao•14mo ago
whats it callled
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
what is what called
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
the "complementary shader"
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
that's what it's called... that's the name of the shaderpack I would recommend

Complementary Shaders | Official Site
Shader pack for Minecraft with exceptional quality, detail and performance.

there are others though. Some of them can be found here: https://wiki.shaderlabs.org/wiki/Shaderpacks
Shaderpacks
This page lists actively developed shaderpacks. For discontinued ones, see: Legacy Shaderpacks

Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
just download the shader file and put it in AppData/Roaming/com.modrinth.theseus/profiles/[YOUR INSTANCE]/shaderpacks you don't need to use winrar for anything

if you're talking about Minecraft 1.8, the shader supports all MC versions down to 1.8.9 send the crash log
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
Zulu Platform x64 Architure
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
that's not a crash log
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
it made it crash
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
go into the crash-reports folder and send the latest one
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
f this whats also a good shader
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
the crash is caused by something you are doing, not the shader shaders can't crash the game unless they are extremely broken
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
IM DOWNLOADING COMP SHADRES SEperatley
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
I'll record a video that is easy to follow
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
its crashing either way
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
which means you have done something wrong. So I'll record a video that will show you exactly how to get shaders the correct way

Yes. There are lots of performance mods that work with iris
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago

Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
Andrenaline?
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago

Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago

it’s true

This is a support thread for iris shaders, not for random videos
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
but i have comet client and in the mod folder it has iris in it but in video settings it doesnt show up
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
don’t use hacks oh wait comet is the Modrinth one
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
Bro it's comet client
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
You’d have to ask them
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
It's not hacks
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
yes, I realized
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
It's a optimiser
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
Comet is not an optimizer
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
It's like lunar
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
yes, it’s a Lunar replacement but it will still have lower FPS than other packs
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
AND LUNAR ISNT HACKS
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
Yes… I already said that?
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
So im not using hacks it's a joke
IMS
IMS•14mo ago
You’re not, but we still can’t help with Comet we didn’t make it

So you've got it working? :) Now you can go and add your shaderpacks
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
its not working
Deleted User
Deleted User•14mo ago
So youve added or downloaded shaderpacks but theyre not showing up?
lagged_lmao
lagged_lmao•14mo ago
no it was pre-installed with the client
Slooshie
Slooshie•14mo ago
you need to put the shaderpack in the shaderpacks folder yourself I wouldn't trust any client to do that automatically
Mithos
Mithos•14mo ago
you can even just drag packs into the shaderpack selection screen it will put them in the shaderpack folder and allow you to select them
