Factorial: Sodium
The modern optimization experience, supercharged.
Before you begin: The Factorial team HIGHLY recommends users to allocate more RAM to the game, this helps the game to perform better interms of performance.
Factorial: Sodium is the powerhouse version of the Factorial modpack, built around Sodium as its core rendering engine. If you're on Fabric and want the best raw FPS gains the modern modding ecosystem has to offer, this is your pick.
Why Sodium?
Sodium rewrites Minecraft's rendering engine from the ground up, and the results speak for themselves. It consistently outperforms OptiFine in raw frame output, making it the go-to choice for players who want maximum performance with a modern, actively maintained codebase. Paired with the wider Fabric ecosystem, the possibilities don't stop there.
Low-End & High-End Friendly
Factorial: Sodium is built to scale. On low-end machines, Sodium's efficient rendering pipeline dramatically reduces GPU and CPU overhead, turning unplayable framerates into smooth ones. On high-end machines, it removes the ceiling, letting your hardware run at its full potential without vanilla's rendering bottlenecks holding it back.
What's Included?
Alongside Sodium, this pack includes the full suite of companion mods: Lithium, Phosphor, Embeddium, and more, covering physics simulation, lighting, memory management, and entity rendering. Everything is pre-configured so you can jump straight into a smooth experience without touching a single mod.
