These are small mods that make Minecraft slightly more pleasant to play.

-More item tooltip information

Shaders! (Yes, really!)

This modpack makes use of Iris, a brand new mod that works with Sodium to support shaders in 1.17.1.

Iris uses optimized rendering techniques to decrease the performance impact of shaders.

More information on the official Iris website: https://irisshaders.net/index.html.

NOTE: This modpack does not come with any shader packs pre-installed. YOU MUST INSTALL THEM YOURSELF.

Step 1) Download your shader pack. The list of supported shaders can be found here: https://github.com/IrisShaders/Iris.

Step 2) Launch the game.

Step 3) Navigate into Options --> Video Settings.

Step 4) Select Shader Settings

Step 5) Select Open shader pack folder

Step 6) Drag + drop your shader pack into the folder.

Step 7) Toggle the "enable shaders" button and click "Apply."

If you want to configure the shader pack's settings, you will have to do that in the shader's config file (usually called "shader.settings," or something like that).

Because this is a client-side modpack, you can use it on vanilla multiplayer servers!

None of these mods give you any kind of competitive advantage beyond vanilla players. Therefore, you can safely use this modpack online.
