Enabling and Customizing Shaders Over Distant Terrain
Because this modpack ensures full compatibility between Distant Horizons and Iris Shaders, realistic lighting, water, and shadows extend seamlessly across hundreds of chunks without complex setup or rendering conflicts.
Activating a Shader Pack
1. Open the pause menu or start from the main screen, then go to Options > Video Settings.
2. Select the Shader Packs menu provided by Iris Shaders.
3. If you want to add new shaders, click the button to open the shaderpacks folder, move your shader .zip files inside without unzipping them, and return to the game.
4.
Tuning Graphic Quality for Stability
Rendering high-end shaders across massive horizons places extra demand on your graphics card. If frame rates drop while looking over wide views:
- Open the shader's own settings screen inside the Shader Packs menu and step down to a lighter quality profile.
- Confirm your game is running on the recommended 6GB RAM allocation rather than the 4GB minimum so memory stutters do not compound graphics load.
- Re-apply the active shader pack from the Iris menu if shadows or sky lighting ever need a clean reload after changing video options.
