About this Mod

Acedium Sodiumized

Acedium Sodiumized is an unofficial NeoForge 1.21.1 fork of Acedium, updated for Sodium 0.6.x and Sodium 0.8.12-beta.1.

It replaces Sodium's default terrain renderer with a specialized Nvidium-style NVIDIA renderer. This can improve performance at high render distances or in terrain-heavy scenes, but it may
not help if terrain rendering is not your bottleneck in a given scenario.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.1
  • NeoForge 21.1.x
  • Sodium 0.6.x (for the 0.3.x releases) or Sodium 0.8.12-beta.1+ (for the 0.4.x alpha)
  • NVIDIA GTX 1600 series or newer

Unsupported GPUs, including AMD, Intel, and older NVIDIA cards, cannot use the custom renderer. In that case, the mod should stay inactive and Sodium's normal renderer is used.

Limitations

  • Iris shader packs disable the custom renderer. This is expected.
  • Compatibility may be worse than standard Sodium because this mod replaces Sodium's terrain renderer and depends on less commonly used NVIDIA OpenGL extensions.
  • Only NeoForge 1.21.1 is currently targeted.

Support

If something is broken, do not be afraid to open an issue on GitHub. I will try to reproduce it and fix it. You are also more than welcome to request new features or compatibility support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Acedium Sodiumized need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Acedium Sodiumized as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Acedium Sodiumized require?

Use a file for neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Acedium Sodiumized is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
