Embeddium

Embeddium is a free and open-source performance mod for Minecraft clients. It is based on the last FOSS-licensed version of the Sodium codebase, and includes additional bugfixes & features for better mod compatibility. Despite being forked from Sodium, Embeddium is **not supported by CaffeineMC**. Do not report issues encountered with it to their bug tracker or in their Discord.

Highlights

* All performance improvements from Sodium 0.5.8 and earlier, i.e. a rewritten terrain renderer, various optimizations to the immediate-mode rendering pipeline (used by entities, GUIs, block entities, etc.), and other miscellaneous improvements * Available for Minecraft Forge on 1.20.1 and older, Fabric on 1.20.1-1.20.6, and NeoForge on 1.20.1 and newer * Integrated Fabric Rendering API support (Indium is no longer required, and will not work with Embeddium) * Frequent patch updates to fix mod compatibility issues soon after being reported & reproduced * Additional APIs for mod integration * Optional support for translucency sorting (can be enabled in Video Settings)

For developers

If you're looking to add Embeddium to your development environment, please take a look at the dedicated wiki page for instructions & recommended guidelines for integration.

Credits

* JellySquid & the CaffeineMC team, for making Sodium in the first place, without which this project would not be possible * Asek3, for the initial port to Forge * XFactHD, for providing a list of gamebreaking Rubidium issues to start this work off, and for testing early builds * Pepper, for their invaluable assistance with getting Forge lighting to work on Sodium 0.5 * @CelestialAbyss and @input-Here for making the new logo design
