Installation on iOS

Using Filza

Jailbreak required

Jailbreak is required to access and modify Minecraft game files. If you don't have a jailbroken device, then follow modified IPA method.

1. First, install Filza.
2. Go to var\containers\Bundle\Application\Minecraft\minecraftpe.app\data\renderer\materials.
3. Back up the materials folder. If you don't do this you will be unable to remove the shader after.
4. Select material files of the shader pack, and copy them.
5. Go back to the previous location and replace the material.bin files with the copied shader files.

To remove the shader, just copy and paste the old material.bin files you backed up to that location.

Using Modified IPA

In this method, you have to first extract the Minecraft IPA and replace its material.bin files with the ones inside the shader pack. Then you need to sideload the modified IPA.

No online multiplayer

Sideloaded Minecraft IPA does not support online multiplayer. There are workarounds to get it working though, but you have to find those out yourself.

Extracting IPA

1. On Windows, you can use iMazing for IPA extraction. Here's how:

1. First, install iMazing.
2. Connect your iPhone to the PC via USB.
3. Once iMazing is installed, click "Continue with the Free Trial" and go to App Management.
4. Right-click on Minecraft and click "Install .IPA".
5. After extracting the IPA, open the file using a program like Bandizip (or any program that can handle compressed files).
6. Navigate to Payload\minecraft.app\data\renderer\materials.
7. Replace the existing material.bin shader file with the downloaded material.bin shader file.
8. Finally, sideload Minecraft back onto your device.

2. On iOS:

1. Install ES File Explorer from AppStore.
2. Find and download Minecraft IPA online.
3. Use ES File Explorer to change .ipa extension to .zip extension.
4. Extract the .zip file.
5. Download the iOS material.bin files of the shader you wish to install.
6. Copy paste the material.bin files to location /Payload/minecraft.app/data/renderer/materials inside the extracted folder.
7. Zip the Payload folder.
8. Rename Payload.zip to Payload.ipa.
9. Now sideload this modified IPA onto your device.

Sideloading IPA

1. Using sideloading tools on PC

Users with access to an external PC can use sideloading tools like:

• AltStore
• Sideloadly

Please refer to the respective instructions provided by each sideloading tool for the installation process.
