Help Getting Mods working w/ Iris/Sodium
Hi! So, I'm super new to Java Minecraft and getting mods and shaders to work. I installed the Iris/Sodium download from the main website and am struggling to get mods working with it (I got shaders working fine). I tried installing fabric and the fabricAPI separately, and that created a new instance of MC in the MC launcher, but it would not show options for shaders in the video settings menu. So, I removed the separate fabric and it's new files it created in the .fabric folder and tried moving the mod i confirmed working into other folders in the .minecraft folder- mods & proccessedMods in the .fabric folder and neither of them would load the mod in the Iris Sodium instance.
My friend suggested getting a mod manager/launcher like MultiMC or GD Launcher. But I'm checking here first to see if maybe it's something I'm missing as a newbie to this.
So some help getting this working would be great! I I need to clarify anything let me know.
I'm on Windows 11, Minecraft is 1.20.4 and just using the base Minecraft Launcher. Using Modrinth to install mods.
Thanks for all your help and time!
