Requirements

Minecraft Java Edition 1.8.9

With Forge 1.8.9 (11.15.1.2318) on Java 8. The launcher's bundled Java works.

OpenGL 2.1 (GLSL 1.20)

Needed by the shader-based features. Almost every GPU from the last 15 years supports it. Without it, those features fall back or show a notice.

Windows, macOS or Linux

Wherever Forge 1.8.9 runs. A few modules have their own requirements, listed below.

OptiFine is optional

Works with and without OptiFine, including Fast Render. With OptiFine shader packs, some features pause or fall back, with a notice. Motion Blur pauses, since shader packs have their own.

Module requirements

Audio module (now playing, visualizer)
Full features on Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer). On Linux: song info and controls, with an animated visualizer. Not available on macOS.
React to music (Dynamic Skies)
Needs the Audio module's real audio levels.
GPU usage (CPU & GPU module)
Windows 10 or newer, or an NVIDIA GPU elsewhere. Otherwise it shows N/A.
Discord module
Needs the Discord desktop app and a free Discord developer app. The setup steps are in the mod.

Internet use

All optional. The mod connects to:

  • Weather module

    Real weather from Open-Meteo.

  • Discord module

    Signing in to Discord.

  • Skins

    Skin lookups on Mojang's servers.

Nothing else.

Install guide

  1. /01

    Install Forge for 1.8.9

    Download the Forge 1.8.9 installer from files.minecraftforge.net, run it and choose Install client. It adds a Forge profile to your Minecraft launcher.

  2. /02

    Open the mods folder

    Open your .minecraft folder and the mods folder inside it. On Windows, press Win + R and enter %appdata%\.minecraft. On macOS it's ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft; on Linux, ~/.minecraft. Create the mods folder if it isn't there.

  3. /03

    Drop in the jar

    Put the Furiah's Visuals .jar from your downloads into the mods folder. Don't unzip it.

  4. /04

    Launch the Forge profile

    In the Minecraft launcher, pick the Forge 1.8.9 profile and press Play.

  5. /05

    Press Right Shift in game

    Join a world and press Right Shift to open the Furiah's Visuals menu. Every section starts from there.

Troubleshooting

OptiFine and shader packs

OptiFine is optional, and Furiah’s Visuals works with and without it, including with Fast Render on.

With an OptiFine shader pack loaded, some features pause or fall back, and the mod shows a notice when that happens. Motion Blur pauses, because shader packs bring their own. To get every effect back, turn the shader pack off.

The menu doesn’t open

Make sure you started the Forge 1.8.9 profile, not vanilla, and that the jar is in the mods folder itself, not in a subfolder. Then press Right Shift while you’re in a world. If another mod also uses Right Shift, change one of the two keybinds.

Some effects show a notice instead

Shader-based features need OpenGL 2.1 (GLSL 1.20), which almost every GPU from the last 15 years supports. If yours doesn’t, those features fall back or show a notice. Updating your graphics driver often helps.

Where the logs are

Minecraft writes its logs to the logs folder inside .minecraft:

  • Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\logs
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/logs
  • Linux: ~/.minecraft/logs

The files you need are latest.log and, if it’s there, fml-client-latest.log.

Reporting a bug

Tell us on Discord what you expected, what happened instead, and how to make it happen again. Attach latest.log from right after the problem, and mention your mod version, whether you use OptiFine or a shader pack, and your operating system.
