Shaders Not Loading
I downloaded the latest Iris Shaders and Java for 1.21, however it continues to display this error message each time I log into the game. How could I go about resolving this issue?

Iris is a shaders loader, not a shaders pack.
What's inside your
shaderpacks
folder?I used this for the recent version and it loaded in my game instantly with shaders, however since I switched to 1.21 it displayed the error message.

Okay fair, anyways...
what shaderpack are you trying to load? what version? can you click "copy info" and paste it here please?
This is the version I switched to that had begun to display the error message upon loading in.

How would I go about copying the information?
It doesn't allow me to click it from in the game
Press T to open chat box, which from there, your mouse cursor should appear
:harold:
Yes, that's what I've done
Give me a moment to paste it here
and I ask again, what shaders are you trying to load

You need to update whatever shader pack you have installed.
Press F3 + O to open up the shaders list, which shader pack you have enabled?
it's just O
Oh really? Thought I need to press an extra key bind.
I'm using Complementary Shaders
update them to r5.2.1
for archival purposes what version were you using?

yikes
that is ancient
Holy...
:harold:
so old the download doesn't even exist anymore

Not on Modrinth that is...
I downloaded them now, I'll attempt to get them started
:linus:
even on CurseForge
Emin deleted a bunch of old files
shaderLABS probably have that version somewhere.
Well, I hope...
Welp, Discord search can't separate image files from compressed archive files so, that one's a waste.
I got shaders to work with the latest version, thank you for the assistance
:haha_yes:
