How to install Oculus
Oculus takes one of Forge and NeoForge. It lists iris shader pack compatibility on forge among its features. Embeddium go in beside Oculus. 1.16.5 to 1.20.1 is the Oculus range.
- 1Install Forge for the Minecraft version you want Oculus on. It counts 5 features across 8 versions. A profile on another version never starts Oculus. Forge and NeoForge each work for Oculus, one at a time.
- 2Put embeddium in first: Oculus will not load without. Embeddium carries its own version numbers, match them to Oculus. 1 file go in before Oculus. Embeddium is not optional for Oculus.
- 3Drop oculus-mc1.19.2-1.6.9a.jar into the mods folder. The jar goes in whole, Oculus unpacks nothing. The folder may hold other mods beside Oculus. Only your own client needs Oculus.
- 4Start the game and look for Oculus in the mods list. It shows nothing on a server list, it is client side. A missing embeddium keeps Oculus out too. No Oculus entry means the loader or the version is off.
Oculus runs on 8 game versions, 1.16.5 to 1.20.1. 1.16.5 is as far back as Oculus goes. It lists 8 game versions. 26.2 is 21 releases past Oculus.
