Iris Explorer
by metroite
Iris Explorer is a Fabric client mod for picking shaderpacks through a dedicated selection screen in Minecraft 1.16.5.
What it does
The mod adds a shaderpack selection menu to Iris, so players can browse and switch shaderpacks without relying on a resource pack screen. It is installed on the client only, so players can join servers without it. Builds cover 1.16.4 – 1.16.5 for Fabric, and the latest file is 0.1.3 for 1.16.5, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source.
Key features
Shaderpack selection menu
A merged menu lists installed shaderpacks so the player can choose one directly.
Iris compatibility
The selection screen works alongside Iris and can be used with Sodium through a compatibility branch.
Recompile on switch
The mod suggests recompiling Iris when a shaderpack is switched, so the new pack takes effect.
