How to play with Shaders?

Download this file or a newer version of Oculus
Open the CurseForge App, where you would normally start the modpack
Right-click on the Saffron profile
Left-click on "Open Folder"
A folder should pop up. In there, navigate to the subdirectory "mods"
Now drag the downloaded file from Oculus in there
Download this mod and drag it into the mods-folder too
Download the shaderpack of your choice. If you don't know what shader to use, pick one here. I used Complementary Shaders v4 for the screenshots
Go back to the modpack-folder (the folder in which the mods-folder is located in). Create a folder called "shaderpacks" if there isn't already one. Drag your shaderpack (as a ZIP-file) in there
To use the shaderpack, load up the game and go to "Options…". From there, go to "Video Settings…" and then "Shader Packs…"
The name of your shaderpack should appear on the screen. Click on it and then press "Apply"
If the text above your shaderpack is "Shaders: Disabled", click on it, so that it is "Shaders: Enabled"
Now you can click done and leave the settings. Your shaderpack should be applied
