Activating Dara Shaders with Iris

Enabling the Shader Pack

To start using Dara Shaders, you need to select it within your video options while running the Iris shader loader.

1. Press Esc to open the pause menu and select Options.

2. Click on Video Settings, then select Shader Packs.

3. Locate Dara Shaders in the list on the left side of the screen.

4. Click the pack name to highlight it, then click Apply (or double-click the pack name).

5. Click Done to return to your game.

Confirming In-Game Visuals

Once you return to your world, look around your immediate environment to verify the pack is working. Terrain and blocks should now display soft shadow rendering rather than standard flat lighting. Colors will appear adjusted according to your current biome due to cinematic color grading. If you are standing near water, observe whether the surface displays animated wave motion and clear surface highlights. If these visual changes are active, the shader pack is correctly loaded.
