Iris Player Depth Fix
Client-only fix for Iris on Minecraft 26.2 (Fabric & NeoForge).
With Iris, player skins are drawn as translucent. Opaque depth (depthtex1) is copied before those draws, then deferred shading runs. The player body is missing from that depth, so:
- the sun and moon show through the player
- Distant Horizons transparent water draws over the player
Cape and held items already use opaque paths — only the body skin is wrong.
What this mod does
Forces avatar getRenderType onto cutout, so the player writes depth with opaque geometry (alpha-tested holes still work).
Requirements
| Minecraft | 26.2 |
| Loaders | Fabric or NeoForge |
| Required | Iris ≥ 1.11 |
| Soft | Distant Horizons (fixes the water-over-player case) |
Also install Sodium (Iris depends on it) and, on Fabric, Fabric API.
Side effects
- Outer skin layers become alpha-tested (harder edges) instead of soft-blended
- Temporary workaround until Iris includes players in opaque depth correctly
