Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Virelia Shaders?
Open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs. Select Virelia Shaders from the list and apply it. This menu path works in both Iris and OptiFine. The world reloads with the shader active.
How can I tell if Virelia Shaders is actually working?
Look at the sky for thick volumetric clouds and check for soft shadows under trees and mobs. Grass and leaves should also sway gently. Any lake or river should show clear reflections. If you see flat vanilla clouds and no shadows, the pack isn't selected or your shader loader isn't running.
Does Virelia Shaders need Iris or OptiFine?
Yes, it's a shader pack, so it needs a shader loader to run. It works on either Iris or OptiFine.
Can I run Iris and OptiFine together to use Virelia?
No, pick one loader. Running both at once is a common cause of crashes. Virelia works the same on either, so use whichever fits your other mods.
