go into video settings -> shader packs and click on shaderpacks folder. That is where your .minecraft directory is
if you want to completely remove the sodium and iris profile delete it in the versions folder
then run https://fabricmc.net/ and put https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium and https://modrinth.com/mod/iris in your mods folder
Modrinth
Sodium - Minecraft Mod
A modern rendering engine for Minecraft which greatly improves performance
Modrinth
Iris Shaders - Minecraft Mod
A modern shaders mod for Minecraft intended to be compatible with existing OptiFine shader packs
odd, I guess I don't have a .minecraft directory then
my shaders are in G/MojangLibrary/shaderpacks
they work fine
also uh, versions folder?
show the contents of "MojangLibrary"
that's weird
oh well, you don't need to uninstall the standalone version. Just put the fabric mods in your mods folder after running the fabric installer and launch fabric from the launcher
oh right? that'll still work?
yes
okay, and I'm assuming this is my mods folder?
errr no
I have no idea what is wrong with your game directory
me neither. I know it says MACOSX but that is the only folder that contains any mods in my minecraft installation so I figure that has to be the mod folder my game is using
you ran fabric once without mods right?
because it needs to do that to generate a mods folder
oh sorry, is this the folder in question?
no
it should just be named
mods inside the main folderalright I don't have that folder yet then
is this gonna cause a problem? because my stuff isn't in .minecraft
yes
set the path to your install location
yeah I just recommend reinstalling the launcher
or using a third-party launcher like Prism
if I reinstall the launcher is there a way to detect my current minecraft installation?
your current directory seems fucked up so that's why you should reinstall or pick a third-party launcher
I would go with option 2
so what you mean is I should uninstall anything minecraft related and start over?
if you don't want to get another launcher then yeah, but backup the stuff you want to keep like saves
this is the launcher I use https://prismlauncher.org/
Prism Launcher - Home
An Open Source Minecraft launcher with the ability to manage multiple instances, accounts and mods. Focused on user freedom and free redistributability.
I appreciate the help and advice. I'll see if I can get it to work and if I can't I'll follow your suggestion
have you tried starting minecraft at least once
with the version you want to play
what do you mean?
I've been playing minecraft with Iris and shaders for over a week without problems
I mean so that there's a vanilla profile, idk how the installer works
I also have no idea what's up with your folder
it looks weird
how what installer works, the fabric one? yeah I ran vanilla before this
yeah
I have no idea
okay so even though my game is installed on my G:drive installing fabric in .minecraft on my C drive has added this?
a fabric loader option? so I guess maybe some of my games' files are on the C:drive?
even though my resource pack folder and iris seem to be on the g drive
oh god did I zip it in macOS
:horror:
lol what
I don't think so?
I uninstalled minecraft and the launcher and reinstalled both, made sure to delete anything left over beforehand so it really is a fresh install
Everything seems to work now?
mods work, iris and shaders work
the iris and sodium installations are in both the macosx folder and the mods folder? I'm just not gonna question that and assume that's what's meant t ohappen
many thanks to all of you for your help at this late hour and your patience haha 😅
