Fabric Installation not showing on launcher

tried following this video however i installed the 1.21.4 versions of all the mods mentioned (fabric API, sodium, iris) and the distant horizons 1.21.4 installation from this discord, i tried pasting in each jar file and then all of them into the mods folder on .minecraft, however the launcher is not showing the drop-down option to launch through fabric. video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Pq3eJSEaI

You just need to rerun the fabric-installer-1.0.1.jar and install fabric 1.21.4 with the create profile checkbox ticked

i just pasted all 3 jar files into the mods folder but i attempted doing each one individually and launching the launcher, however i still ran into the issue where i couldnt find the new installation
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago

for some reason the 1.21.1 only shows, but that doesnt work as i just get an incompatibility error:

reason i want the latest version is i just want distant horizons + a shaders for an MC realm, which requires 1.21.4 atm i tried followin the video which worked for single player but i couldnt enter friend's realm due to the version mismatch ok hope thats enough info to provide

Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago

World generation in general is quite slow, if you want to speed it up: Install Noisium and Lithium, these mods can improve generation speed by a couple percent. Make sure to remove the C2ME mod as it significantly slows down DH chunk generation by up to 35%. Increase CPU Load in Distant Horizons settings for faster generation, but you will experience more lag spikes and stuttering due to heavier workload on CPU. To see if Distant Generator is really working or not: 1) Check CPU usage while in-game, using Aggressive settings of CPU Load. If CPU usage's hovering around 80-100%, the LoDs are generating in the background. 2) Go to DH settings > Advanced Options > Debug > Wireframe, set Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering and Show World Gen Queue to True. Enabling both settings will show you the visualization of world gen tasks queued and working on the map (blue boxes for queued tasks, red boxes for working tasks)

it doesnt seem like it is? idk

2nd section
RadicalAnon

RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
i think its working? i dont remember seeing this usually:

it seems like it is working but you can still try to look after the cpu usage in the task-manager or you can try the second part of the second section
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
CPU is only at like 15-25% and i have it at "i paid for my CPU" setting

try section 2, 2) then to see if it is working but from what I can tell from this screenshot when looking at it from my phone it is definitely working
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
yeah im starting to notice it i think i just had to fly around a bit
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
are you on a singleplayer world or multiplayer server?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
im on a realm
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
ah okay
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
is it normal to see these like

RadicalAnonOP3w ago
the lines of cubes they disappear when i get close but just wondering
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
do you still have the "debug wireframe" activated?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
uh lemme reactivate it yeah
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
nono, keep it deactivated, all good
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
o ok
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
no worries
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
whats a good uh shaders for this i didnt install one so i have no idea how to add a shaders to this as the video didnt really go into detail on how so
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
I personally haven't seen that problem with the border-lines from blocks sticking out like that
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
a compatible one specifically for 1.21.4
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
/shader okay, wrong command /shader-support nope
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
im hopin shaders makes that borderline thing disappear maybe
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
alright, from my experience you are able to use both complementary unbound and reimagined from modrinth. If you want to use Bliss then you have to use the in-dev build
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
uh

Disable anisotropic filtering in your gpu driver settings
RadicalAnon

ill try out shrimple i think the video had that oh ok i have an nvidia so i did it thru the control panel maybe i gotta relaunch the game?
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
Relaunch is required yes
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
alr uhh...where do i put this shader file once downloaded lemme extract
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
Video settings >shader packs
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
ok
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
Don’t extract
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
o shoot oops uh ill just delete that extraction... wait its just automatically in video settings once u download it? dont have to place it anywhere in an MC folder?
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
Drag and drop it there
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
ohh i see ok hmm well the border lines are gone so that fixed
RadicalAnon

I guess it’s just bugged then
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
hmm alr you know a good working one? from the list
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
I don’t Haven’t tried out the nightly
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
o
SPINZ
SPINZ3w ago
Might be a bug between the nightly and the shader
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
Complementary Unbound/Reimagined have worked for me so far, cannot tell if they are stable/working with nightly though
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
so i see...complementary by emin as the pink button gonna try that out i guess
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
as for generating LODs - since you are on a realm you have to run/fly around to generate LODs
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
alright well that one doesnt work lol i see so i just have to fly around to load the chunks in gotcha the shrimple is the best so far but its still kinda weird... the complimentary reimagined is bugged
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
maybe try the r5.4 from complementary from modrinth?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
err where is that...
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
Green Button takes you to modrinth website from there on you can click on "Download" - version 1.21.4 - Iris and download the r5.4

alr lemme test it out hmm i think its workin water has that default texture which is a bit weird i guess, hoping it was a bit more smooth from the surface, but aside from that....at least it works
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
The version "reimagined" from complementary has a vanilla-style look, that is why the water looks like that
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
oh ok
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
you can download the "unbound" version from the complementary shader from modrinth if you want a different look (or change the shader settings I think)
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
is that like the more "realistic" one
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
yes
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
oh i see yeah this one is workin as well
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
nice!
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
hmm so i guess i have to spectator mode everything around in the realm to really unlock the chunks but they'll just stay eventually i presume
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
there may be holes in your LODs if you fly around too fast
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
yeah but i guess no other way given its a realm so
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
unfortunately, yeah
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
its shaping up though im liking it:

do /tp ~ 2500 ~ enable debug mesh and fly around ur in relem right ?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
GPU keeps showing 100% which uh...i guess thats normal, temps are high 70s ig oh how do you enable debug mesh yeah in a realm
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
"debug wireframe"
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
thats what i mean 😅😅
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
the debug wireframe rendering ?
shaurya

open dh meanue
Mr.Counter

yes

RadicalAnonOP3w ago
alr
shaurya
shaurya3w ago

thats what i see
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
thats what u should see
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
uh
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
if you in relem , then i don't think it is working on its own right
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
idk
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
nope, like in multiplayer you have to fly around/run around
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
In relem or in server without dh support
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
*if there is no DH installed on the server yes
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
So just slowly move around and see it fill
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
well i dont think u can install DH onto a realm so oh will it fill relative to how much my screen captures?
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
thats why we are saying that No, if no server support then accoring to ur vanilla render disance or actually accoring to the render distance set by server
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
oh yeah its quite slow lol
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Wanna see how DH supported server performs ?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
i figure its like instant lol
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
when u have pregenrated it takkes like 2-3 min in first time
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
figures wait quick question
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
next time few seconds / one min
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
does this expand the fill command or nah
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
yes ?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
u know like how the gamerule u can set it to infinite but it gets limited by the chunks loaded in
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Oh i diden't even knew that i don't really knwo
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
like itll error "that location is out of this world!" idk if thatll just assume the vanilla chunks are "commandable" or if its client based
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
try it on my server if you want i was testing things
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
i gotta sleep tbh its almost 3 AM and i got work....today
shaurya
shaurya3w ago

RadicalAnonOP3w ago
alr thanks for all the help everybody
Mr.Counter
Mr.Counter3w ago
good night!
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
yeah gn i wanna bump this up again, but uh any methods to generate chunks faster than spectator mode? i have operator on the realm im on so i can use commands but idk, i was googling and some forums said u can adjust a flyspeed attribute to go faster in flight movement speed seemed to be faster when i added a 255 speed effect onto me, but the issue with that is i have to be on the ground
Puhpine
Puhpine3w ago
Scroll the mousewheel While in spectator
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
THis
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
its still too slow
Puhpine

not much else i dont think
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
darn
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Why do you use relems , out of topic question
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
friend doesnt want to make a server, so he got a realm instead
Skillnoob_
Skillnoob_3w ago
Use tweakeroo and set a custom fly speed But the server won't be able to keep up at some point
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Rip Realms are just expensive servers without customisablity
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
yeah thats what i told him but he doesnt really want to upkeep a server based on his activity and doesnt know/want to figure out how to keep a server up and hosted this work on realms?
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Sad, Why don't u host
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
he already bought the realm sub and isnt planning on taking it down
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Rip
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
already built a bunch on the realm too so would go to waste
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Yeh I understsnd How many of u play?
RadicalAnon
RadicalAnonOP3w ago
anyways...does tweakeroo work on realms? 3 people total
shaurya
shaurya3w ago
Idk Never used it Well, using relems can also be called waste 🥲

yes
