Nvidium

Nvidium is an alternative rendering engine for Sodium that utilizes exclusive NVIDIA OpenGL extensions to significantly increase frames per second.

Compatibility

The modification is designed exclusively for NVIDIA graphics cards with mesh shader support. This feature was introduced in the Turing architecture - meaning 16xx series and newer models (including 20xx series) that possess this capability.

Question: Will the mod work on my system with a different graphics card?

Answer: No, on systems without NVIDIA graphics cards the modification doesn't function, but automatically disables itself without affecting gameplay.

Warning

The employed technology (mesh shaders) is relatively new and may cause unexpected Minecraft shutdowns.

How It Works

Mesh shader technology enables the creation of an almost entirely GPU-driven rendering pipeline that provides highly efficient terrain geometry culling. This significantly enhances graphics card performance.

Requirements

The mod requires installed Sodium to operate. When shaders are actively used through Iris, the modification automatically disables itself.
