Oculus Unlocked
by G_Mungus
Oculus Unlocked lets the Oculus shader system load shaderpacks on Forge, and it is released for Minecraft 1.20.1 only.
What it does
Oculus Unlocked gives the Oculus shader loader a way to run shaderpacks on the Forge loader for 1.20.1, and Oculus must be installed alongside it. Some visuals added by other mods disappear when a shaderpack is enabled, and this mod includes fixes for those cases. It runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source.
