Enable Sodium Integration for Extra Speed

Understanding the Sodium Connection

This mod integrates directly with Sodium's rendering system. If you have Sodium installed, the mod automatically hooks into Sodium's culling—the system that skips rendering chunks you can't see. This creates a performance boost beyond what either mod does alone.

How to Verify It's Working

1. Launch your game with both mods installed

2. Enter a world and look at your frame rate

3. The mod requires no extra configuration—Sodium integration happens automatically

4. If you're using Sodium, you should see smoother performance than with the mod alone

What This Means for You

You don't need to do anything special. Simply having both mods installed together means the spherical render distance works alongside Sodium's advanced culling. This is especially helpful on lower-end hardware where every optimization counts. The combination reduces both the number of chunks loaded and the number of chunks rendered, creating a compounding performance benefit.
