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.

Note: You cannot use OptiFine with Sodium/Iris (Rubidium/Oculus), choose either/or for the two of them.

To display the FPS on both mod loaders, I used FPS Reducer mod and enabled the hud options in the config section. Grab it Here
