Sodium

mod · Optimization

jellysquid3 · updated

A high-performance rendering engine replacement for Minecraft, which greatly improves frame rates and reduces micro-stutter.

My game select version

We'll remember in this browser and set up where your version is available. Open link settings are more important than this choice; the Vicki versions do not change.

Briefly

  • More FPS, same view. Sodium replaces the engine that the game uses to draw the world - no new textures or settings are needed.
  • Placed only in the game. No need for a server: you can play with it on any server.
  • Fabric, NeoForge or Quilt. The mod will not start without a loader - install it for your version of the game.
  • Doesn't work with OptiFine. Shaders with Sodium - via Iris.

Where to put
