Iris Shaders Mod — Configuration

Controls & Keybinds

Iris provides several hotkeys to manage shaders in real-time. These can be reconfigured in the standard Minecraft controls menu.

Keybind	Default Key	Function
Toggle Shaders	`K`	Instantly enables or disables the current shader pack.
Reload Shaders	`R`	Reloads the shader files from disk (useful for shader developers).
Shader Menu	`O`	Opens the shader selection and configuration screen directly.

Note: The Shader Menu can also be accessed by navigating to Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs.

Configuration & Settings

The Iris configuration menu is designed to be intuitive and accessible. It allows users to manage their shader library and tweak specific settings within each pack.

Shader Selection Screen

From this screen, users can: 1. Enable/Disable Shaders: A master toggle for all visual effects. 2. Select Packs: A list of all .zip or folder-based shader packs located in the shaderpacks directory. 3. Shader Pack Settings: If a pack supports it, clicking the 'Shader Pack Settings' button opens a sub-menu to adjust internal pack variables like shadow quality, waving plants, or color grading.

Technical Configuration

Iris also generates a configuration file located at .minecraft/config/iris.properties. This file contains advanced settings such as: * enableShaders: Boolean to set the default state on startup. * shaderPack: The filename of the currently selected pack. * disableUpdateMessage: Option to hide update notifications.

Commands

Iris includes a set of in-game commands to assist with shader management and debugging. These are particularly useful for players who want to automate shader changes or for developers testing new effects.

`/iris list`	Displays a list of all detected shader packs in the chat console.
