Shader Profiles
by Valak
Shader Profiles, a Fabric client mod by Valak, saves named shader configurations for Iris and switches between them from the shader menu.
What it does
Players who change shader settings for different activities can keep each configuration as a separate profile. Profiles can be created, renamed, duplicated and deleted for any shader pack installed in Iris, and switching one applies it directly from the shader selection menu without reopening the options.
The mod works entirely on the client, so only the player needs it and a server is not involved. Fabric API and Iris Shaders are required dependencies. Files are published for Fabric only, covering 1.21.1, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Profile management
Create, rename, duplicate and delete separate configurations for each installed shader pack.
Quick switch
Change the active profile straight from the shader selection menu, with no manual reconfiguration.
Profile comparison
Pick two profiles with multi-select and the built-in diff view lays their settings out next to each other.
Bulk actions
Switch multi-select on to remove a group of profiles in one action, or to bundle several of them into a single export.

Use cases
Switching for different scenes
Keep one profile for cinematic screenshots with demanding settings and another tuned for regular play or combat.
Trying out settings
Duplicate a working profile and change one value, then compare it with the original side by side.
Who it’s for: Players who use Iris shaders and often change settings based on what they are doing, and anyone who wants to keep several shader configurations ready without adjusting sliders each time.
How it compares
Resource Pack Profiles is a Fabric client mod for 26.1 – 26.3 under the MIT License and is open source, so it covers a different version range than Shader Profiles. Hotkey Profiles is client-side only for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and is not open source. KeyBindProfiles is client-side only for 1.21 – 26.3 under the MIT License and is open source, so it switches key bindings rather than shader settings.
