Podium Port (archived use the og one)

# Podium Port A fork of the mod (https://modrinth.com/mod/podium) # NOT OFFICIAL > **Po**jav + So**dium** + **Port**ed = **Podium Port** A tiny Mixin mod that disables (https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium)'s (https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher) check. **Requires Sodium to run.** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/cb8f648d44e0a2f57df66d3af61de2ea7d04f70e.png) ## Disclaimer This doesn't magically make (https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric) work on all devices or renderers. You're still on your own when it comes to compatibility issues. ## Requirements - **Minecraft:** 1.20+ - **Loader:** (https://fabricmc.net/use/) 0.15 or newer or (https://neoforged.net/) - **Java:** 21 or newer - **(https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric):** 0.5.13 or newer - **Launcher:** (https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher) with MobileGlues or LTW ## Installation 1. Download the latest release of **Podium Port** from (https://modrinth.com/mod/podium-port) or (https://curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/podium-port). 2. Make sure you have (https://fabricmc.net/use/) or (https://neoforged.net/) installed on your (https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher) or Amethyst instance. 3. Put the `podium-2.0.0.jar` into your `mods` folder alongside (https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric). 4. Use a supported renderer like **LTW** or **MobileGlues**. 5. Launch the game. If everything works, Sodium will no longer crash due to the Pojav check. ## What's the deal with Sodium and PojavLauncher? (https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric) replaces Minecraft's rendering engine with something far more efficient, but that comes at a cost. (https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher) is known to struggle with mods that mess with rendering in non-standard ways which is exactly what Sodium does. These incompatibilities often led to crashes or visual glitches when running Sodium on Pojav. As a result, people (mostly kids) flooded the Sodium support channels asking for help with issues that weren't actually Sodium's fault. This got annoying quickly, so the Sodium team added a launcher check. Originally, it was just a warning. As of Sodium 0.6.13 (or 0.5.13 on 1.20.1), it crashes the game. JellySquid, the author of Sodium, has stated that the check for PojavLauncher will remain in the mod. ## So why does *this* mod exist? Good question. Yes, Sodium and Pojav have been historically incompatible, but that's changing. Pojav relies on something called *renderers*, which act as a translation/compatibility layer between the game's graphics code and mobile hardware. Old renderers were notoriously bad: either super slow or completely broken with anything beyond vanilla Minecraft. But now we have **MobileGlues** and **LTW**, two newer renderers that massively improve both compatibility and performance: - **MobileGlues**: Developed by (https://github.com/Swung0x48) and a few others, offers solid compatibility and decent performance. - **LTW**: Developed by (https://github.com/artdeell), amazing performance and great compatibility with Sodium. Thanks to these, running (https://github.com/CaffeineMC/sodium-fabric) on (https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher) is no longer guaranteed to cause crashes and visual glitches. Podium simply removes the crash mechanism. ## License MIT. Do whatever you want.
