Frequently asked questions

How do I know if Indium is even working?
Check your mod list or the logs to confirm Indium loaded alongside Sodium. If a mod that needs the Fabric Rendering API renders correctly instead of crashing or showing missing textures, Indium is doing its job.
Do I need Indium if I only use Sodium and no other mods?
No. Indium only exists to add Fabric Rendering API support that Sodium lacks, so with Sodium alone it provides no benefit and can be left out.
Why are my textures missing or invisible after installing Sodium?
Sodium doesn't support the Fabric Rendering API, so mods relying on it render incorrectly without Indium. Installing Indium restores that support and usually fixes the missing or invisible textures.
Does Indium improve my FPS?
No, Indium itself gives no performance benefit over Sodium alone. Any FPS change comes from the mods using the Fabric Rendering API, which can help or hurt performance on their own.
