About Sodium Extra
Sodium Extra is a Fabric/NeoForge/Quilt mod that extends Sodium's features with additional rendering options and visual adjustments. It provides controls for particles, animations, and world details that aren't available in vanilla or standard Sodium.
Players can tweak fire/water animations, customize particle effects from all mods, and adjust sky/weather rendering. These settings improve visual quality while maintaining performance through Sodium's optimizations.
Best for players who want fine-grained control over visual effects without sacrificing FPS, especially in modded environments. It's ideal for modpacks needing advanced rendering options beyond basic Sodium.
As a free open-source mod, it integrates seamlessly into modpacks with proper attribution. Its client-only nature makes it easy to include without affecting server performance.
