Sodium Chinese Localization Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I switch Sodium to Chinese after installing this mod?
Open your Minecraft language settings and select either Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese from the language menu. Sodium's interface will automatically update to display in your chosen Chinese variant the next time you open the Sodium settings screen.
Will this mod work if I'm using a different Sodium version?
This mod is designed to work with specific Sodium versions. If you're using a significantly older or newer version of Sodium than what this localization mod targets, some text may not translate properly or the mod may not load at all—check the mod's compatibility information for your Sodium version.
Do I need to restart Minecraft for the Chinese text to appear?
You may need to restart Minecraft or at least close and reopen the Sodium settings menu for all Chinese translations to display correctly, depending on when you installed the mod.
What's the difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese in this mod?
Simplified Chinese uses fewer strokes per character and is primarily used in mainland China, while Traditional Chinese uses more complex characters and is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Choose whichever matches your preference or region.
Some Sodium options still show English text—why?
This can happen if the localization mod doesn't cover every single Sodium setting, or if you're using a Sodium version newer than what the localization mod was built for. Check if there's an updated version of the localization mod available.
Can I switch between Chinese and English without reinstalling mods?
Yes—simply change your Minecraft language setting in the options menu, and Sodium's text will update accordingly without needing to reinstall or remove any mods.
Does this mod affect Sodium's performance or FPS?
No, this mod only translates text and does not change how Sodium runs or optimizes your game. Your performance will be identical to using Sodium without localization.
Will this mod work with other Sodium add-ons or extensions?
This localization mod should work alongside most Sodium add-ons, but if you're experiencing conflicts, try disabling other mods one at a time to identify which one is causing the issue.
What should I do if Chinese characters appear as boxes or symbols?
This usually means your game's font settings don't support Chinese characters. Ensure your Minecraft language is properly set to Chinese and that your system has Chinese font support enabled.
Is there a way to contribute translations or report missing Chinese text?
Check the mod's project page or repository for contribution guidelines—most mods welcome bug reports and translation improvements from the community.
