📋 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. ## Current Known Mod Incompatibilities - (https://modrinth.com/mod/shine) ## 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. ## Credits This project is unofficial and is not affiliated with the original Acedium or Nvidium authors. - This fork: https://github.com/viktorr245/acedium-sodiumized - Original Acedium fork: https://github.com/ferriarnus/acedium - Original Nvidium project: https://github.com/MCRcortex/nvidium
