Sodium is a powerful rendering engine and optimization mod for the Minecraft client which improves frame rates and reduces micro-stutter, while fixing many graphical issues in Minecraft.

This mod is the result of thousands of hours of development, and is made possible thanks to players like you. If you would like to show a token of your appreciation for my work, and help support the development of Sodium in the process, then consider buying me a coffee.

The latest stable release of Sodium can be downloaded from our official Modrinth and CurseForge pages.

We also provide bleeding-edge builds ("nightlies") which are useful for testing the very latest changes before they're packaged into a release. These builds are primarily intended for other mod developers and users with expert skills, and do not come with any support or warranty.

For a complete listing of available nightly builds, please see the wiki page. We also have a Maven repository for including Sodium in your development workspace or build process, for which you can also find documentation on our wiki.

Since the release of Sodium 0.6.0, both the Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders are supported. We generally recommend that new users prefer to use the Fabric mod loader, since it is more lightweight and stable (for the time being.)

For more information about downloading and installing the mod, please refer to our Installation Guide.

For technical support (including help with mod installation problems and game crashes), please use our official Discord server.

If you do not need technical support and would like to report an issue (bug, crash, etc.) or otherwise request changes (for mod compatibility, new features, etc.), then we encourage you to open an issue on the project issue tracker.

Please note that while the issue tracker is open to feature requests, development is primarily focused on improving compatibility, performance, and finishing any unimplemented features necessary for parity with the vanilla renderer.
