4 questions
Does Vanilletix Shaders work with Iris and OptiFine?
Yes. The newest release lists both Iris and OptiFine as supported loaders and covers 1.14 to 1.21.11. It needs no additional dependency beyond the loader itself. Iris runs on Fabric or NeoForge, while OptiFine installs on its own.
How is Vanilletix different from Super Duper Vanilla?
Vanilletix is a community-driven project led by ara_mat that starts from Eldeston's Super Duper Vanilla. It adds more customization flexibility, optimized performance and an expanded feature set while keeping the vanilla style. The two are separate packs with separate pages.
Can I use Vanilletix Shaders on Bedrock?
No. Vanilletix is a Java shader pack that depends on Iris or OptiFine, and both of those are Java mods. Bedrock uses a different shader format, so this pack will not load there.
How do I install Vanilletix Shaders?
Install Iris or OptiFine first, then place the pack's .zip file in the shaderpacks folder. Open Video Settings, choose Shader Packs, and select Vanilletix.
