What is Iris and Sodium?
The Iris mod is a client-side mod that adds new features to the game’s user interface. It allows players to customize the appearance of the game’s menus, inventories, and other graphical elements. The mod also adds new options for controlling graphics settings and performance, including the ability to dynamically adjust rendering distance based on player movement.
The Sodium mod, on the other hand, is a performance optimization mod that aims to improve the game’s frame rate and reduce lag. It replaces the game’s default rendering engine with a more efficient and optimized one, resulting in faster performance and smoother gameplay. The mod is primarily designed for players with lower-end computers or laptops that struggle to run the game at higher settings.
Both mods are widely used by Minecraft players, and can be downloaded and installed from various modding websites and forums. It’s worth noting that modding can sometimes carry risks, such as potential compatibility issues or security risks, so it’s important to only download mods from trusted sources and to take appropriate precautions when installing them.
