What is Sodium Plus?

Sodium Plus is a Fabric and Quilt modpack for Minecraft 26.1.2, published by HappyRedstone Modding on Modrinth since 2022.

The latest release, 2.3.7-alpha.1 from Apr 26, 2026, declares 65 mods plus 7 other projects such as resource packs or shaders. Across 67 published versions it has covered Minecraft 1.18.2 through 26.3.

Our notes on Sodium Plus

What sets it apart

Sodium Plus starts from the same idea as other OptiFine replacement packs: Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore and Iris for performance and shaders, with Continuity and the entity model and texture mods for resource pack features.

It then goes further than a pure optimization pack. The mod list on the project page includes Xaero’s Minimap and World Map, Jade, Litematica, MiniHUD, Simple Voice Chat, the Flashback replay mod, the Axiom building tool and an auto clicker. ViaFabricPlus is included so the client can join servers running other game versions.

The author says OutPerform, an earlier pack, is no longer maintained and calls Sodium Plus much better.

Who it suits

It suits players who want a utility-heavy client in one install.

It is a poor fit for players who need a strictly vanilla-fair client. The authors state plainly that some included mods change gameplay even though they run client-side, and they mention a possible fair play edition later. Fabulously Optimized is the closer choice for that need, since its page says it carries no content mods.

Before you install

Check the rules of any server you join. The project page warns that connecting to older game versions through ViaFabricPlus may cause problems, and the author disclaims responsibility for bans.

Modrinth lists builds from 1.18.2 through 26.3. The loader tags are Fabric and Quilt, though the recent releases in the version list are Fabric builds.

The page’s mod list can trail the releases. The changelog shows version 2.4.6 switched from Distant Horizons to Voxy for distant terrain, while the page still lists Distant Horizons. The same entry notes that chunk generation is more aggressive in single player and can be turned off in video settings.

The page suggests creating a fresh instance if a launcher update causes trouble.

Playing with friends

The standard release is client-side and is meant for joining existing servers, subject to the fair play caveat above.

Starting with 2.4.7, the authors also publish a separate SERVER release. The page says to install it on the server and use the matching version number on clients. The changelog says the server build is designed to pair with a 2.4.7 client, though that is not required, and that it uses Chunksmith for world pregeneration and Voxy compatibility.

Modrinth’s metadata marks server-side as unsupported, which conflicts with the project page and the SERVER release.
