Activating Earthshade Shaders Using Iris

Selecting the Shader Pack

To enable Earthshade Shaders, make sure your game is running with the Iris shader pipeline. Once loaded into the game, press Escape to bring up the Game Menu and navigate to Options, then select Video Settings. Click on the Shader Packs button to open your available shader list.

Locate Earthshade Shaders in the menu list. Click on the pack name to highlight it, then click Apply or double-click the pack. Allow the game a moment to compile the shaders and reload the graphical pipeline. Click Done to return to your world.

Verifying Active Lighting

Once back in the world, verify that the shader pack is actively functioning. Look up at the sky and around nearby terrain. You should immediately notice realistic lighting illuminating the sky and ground, accompanied by soft shadows projected around your character and nearby blocks. If the visuals appear unchanged, re-enter the video settings to ensure the shader pack toggle is set to active rather than disabled.
