Sodium Pack Simple is a lightweight Fabric modpack for Java Edition, made by 1510ty for players whose frame rate drops on mid- and low-end PCs. It collects lightweight and useful mods in one pack. It runs on the player's own machine only and is unsupported on the hosting side.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.16.5 to 1.21.10.
What it does
Sodium alone does not always lift FPS enough, and this pack exists for that gap. The mods inside are picked to be light and useful. Iris is included, so shaders stay available while Sodium speeds things up. The creator mentions figures up to 400 FPS on suitable hardware, though results depend on your specs and the gain can be small in some cases.
How to install Sodium Pack Simple
- 1.Open the Modrinth App, or Prism Launcher or another launcher that reads .mrpack files.
- 2.Add the pack from its Modrinth page. The launcher fetches the listed mods and the Fabric loader for you.
- 3.Launch the new profile from the launcher.
If you have never imported a pack, the guide on installing a modpack from CurseForge or Modrinth covers the steps, and the Fabric guide helps if you prefer to set the loader up yourself.
Who it suits
Pick it if you want a quick FPS boost without assembling a mod list yourself. It is tagged for multiplayer play, but it is required on the player's side and the hosting side is unsupported, so install it on your own machine only.
Questions about Sodium Pack Simple.
4 questions
How do I install Sodium Pack Simple?
Import it through the Modrinth App, or through Prism Launcher or another launcher that reads .mrpack files. The launcher downloads the listed mods and the Fabric loader automatically. Only the .mrpack format is published now, so launchers without .mrpack support cannot use it.
Does Sodium Pack Simple include shaders?
It includes Iris, the shader loader, so you can run shaders while Sodium speeds up rendering. Frame rate gains depend on your hardware, and they may be small in some cases. It is aimed at players on mid- and low-end PCs who want smoother frame rates.
Can I use Sodium Pack Simple on a multiplayer host?
No. Modrinth tags the pack for multiplayer, but it is required on the player's side and unsupported on the hosting side. Hosts should not install it; install it only on the machine you play on. Treat it as a pack you run for yourself while playing.
Is Sodium Pack Simple still updated?
Because it is a hobby project, new releases of the base game and support replies may arrive late.
