Sodium Options Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
how do i open the sodium options mod screen
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.
how do i search for a specific setting
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.
how do i change a slider value more precisely
Hold SHIFT and scroll your mouse wheel over a slider to nudge its value in small steps instead of dragging. This is the fastest way to hit an exact number.
why can't i find a setting i know exists
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.
is this the same as reese's sodium options
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.
does sodium options mod work with sodium extra
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.
how do i open iris shader packs from here
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.
does this mod replace sodium or do i need both
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.
will this mod hurt my fps or performance
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.
my options screen looks like vanilla sodium, why
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.
