Sodium Options Mod FAQ

Open Video Settings from the vanilla options menu, or use the Mods list to reach Sodium's config. The mod replaces Sodium's default options screen, so wherever you'd normally land on Sodium's settings, you'll now see the new tabbed interface.

Click the search bar at the top of the screen and start typing the name of the setting you want. Matching options are filtered across tabs and pages so you don't have to hunt through each category manually.

Hold SHIFT while scrolling over a slider to adjust its value in smaller steps than a normal drag allows. This lets you fine-tune settings without the slider snapping past the value you want.

The screen uses scrollable tabs and scrollable pages, so some categories extend below the visible area. Scroll down within a tab, or use the search bar to jump straight to a specific option.

Click a tab header to switch categories, and scroll the tab strip if more tabs exist than fit on screen. Each tab holds its own set of pages you can scroll through.

If Iris is installed, Sodium Options adds a shader pack button directly in the options screen. Use it to open the shader pack selection and switch packs without leaving the video settings.

Yes, the mod works with Sodium alone, but the scrollable pages are especially useful when Sodium Extra adds many extra options. Without Sodium Extra you'll simply see fewer settings to scroll through.

Sodium Options only changes the options screen's interface, not rendering, so it doesn't affect performance directly. Any FPS gains come from Sodium itself and the settings you choose through this screen.

It's designed to integrate with Sodium and Sodium Extra, and Iris shader controls appear when Iris is present. Other mods that add their own separate config screens are unaffected and still open from their own menus.

Reopen the Sodium Options screen, search for the setting you changed, and set it back toward its default. If you're unsure which option caused the issue, resetting Sodium's config file to defaults restores the original values.

Open Video Settings from the vanilla options menu and the mod's screen takes over automatically. You can also reach it through Mod Menu if you have it installed.

Type into the search bar at the top of the options screen and the list filters down to matching settings as you type. Clear the box to bring the full list back.

It's probably on a different tab or page, since the screen splits options into scrollable tabs and pages. Use the search bar first, or scroll through the tabs to locate the category.

Yes, Reese's Sodium Options is the mod's original name and Sodium Options Mod is the current one. If you see both names, they refer to the same options screen replacement.

Yes, it's built to handle Sodium Extra's added settings, and the scrollable pages make those extra options much easier to browse. Install both and the extra settings appear in the same screen.

There's a shader pack button on the options screen that takes you straight to the Iris shader selection. You can switch packs without digging through the main menu.

It only replaces Sodium's options screen, so Sodium itself is still required and does the actual rendering work. Keep both installed; this mod just changes how you interact with the settings.

No, it's a UI mod and doesn't touch rendering, so it has no meaningful impact on frame rate. Any performance change you see comes from the Sodium settings you adjust, not the screen itself.

Another mod is likely overriding the options screen, or this mod isn't loading before Sodium. Check for conflicting options-screen mods and make sure load order puts this one after Sodium.
