Sodium Server Hosting

Sodium is the most essential performance optimization mod for Minecraft Fabric, completely revolutionizing the game's rendering pipeline. With over 58 million downloads, it has become the gold standard for players seeking dramatically improved framerates and smoother gameplay on both dedicated servers and single-player worlds.

Why Host a Server with Sodium Support?

When you host a Minecraft server that supports Sodium-equipped clients, you're providing your players with the best possible experience. Sodium replaces Minecraft's outdated rendering engine with a modern, highly-optimized alternative that typically delivers 2-3x better FPS compared to vanilla. This means your players experience less lag, fewer stutters, and can enjoy higher render distances without performance penalties.

Server Compatibility and Requirements

Sodium is primarily a client-side mod, which means it doesn't need to be installed on your server directly. However, ensuring your dedicated Minecraft server is properly configured for Fabric modded clients is essential. Our servers come pre-configured to accept connections from players using Sodium and other Fabric performance mods.

For optimal performance when hosting a server where players use Sodium, we recommend allocating at least 4GB of RAM. This ensures smooth chunk loading and entity processing on the server side while your players enjoy boosted client performance.

Key Features for Server Hosts

Unlike OptiFine, Sodium is fully open-source and designed to work seamlessly alongside other Fabric mods. This makes it perfect for modpack servers where compatibility is crucial. The mod focuses purely on rendering optimizations without adding visual features, keeping resource usage minimal.

Technical Benefits

Sodium implements modern OpenGL rendering techniques, efficient chunk culling, and optimized vertex building. These improvements reduce CPU overhead significantly, which indirectly benefits server performance by ensuring client-server synchronization remains smooth even during intensive gameplay.
