Iris Shaders, Sodium & OptiFine are now available for Fabric and Forge. View full article for more information.
We can finally use Iris Shaders, Sodium, OptiFine on both mod loaders - Fabric and Forge on Minecraft 1.18.2. Personally I would use Iris & Sodium on Fabric and OptiFine you can use on both but see below for more information on where to get those.
Fabric
Get Mod Menu for Fabric so you can configure your mods. Grab it Here
Iris Shaders - Here
Sodium - Here
OptiFabric - Here (you will need to put the OptiFine Jar file inside the mods folder for OptiFabric to work correctly)
OptiFine - Here
Note: You cannot use OptiFabric/OptiFine with Sodium/Iris, choose either/or for the two of them.
Forge
Rubidium (Sodium) - Here
Oculus (Iris Shaders) - Here
OptiFine - Here (with Forge, you can place the OptiFine jar file directly inside the mods folder)
Tested with Forge version 40.1.0 and is working fine.
