How to Install Photon Shaders + Patrix (Minecraft 1.21.1 & Newer Versions)
In this quick tutorial I show you how to install Photon shaders and the Patrix texture pack for Minecraft 1.21.1 using Fabric. This setup gives you ultra‑realistic lighting, textures, and reflections — perfect for cinematic builds or survival worlds.
If you're installing this on a newer Minecraft version, simply download the updated mod files and the matching Fabric Loader version. The steps in this tutorial are exactly the same.
