| Environment | Client |
Reese's Sodium Options is a Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt mod that replaces Sodium's video settings screen with a wider layout showing every option at once. It requires Sodium to run, and it changes no rendering behavior of its own, it only reworks how Sodium's own settings are organized and displayed. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it installed.
What Reese's Sodium Options does
Sodium's stock options screen packs every setting into one scrolling column. Reese's Sodium Options swaps that layout for a wider screen that groups related settings into visible categories, so most of the menu is readable without paging through screens of toggles. The mod does not touch Sodium's rendering pipeline, chunk building, or frame pacing, it is a menu reskin, not a performance mod.
The redesigned Sodium options menu
The redesigned menu adds a search box for jumping straight to a setting by name, plus a few toggles for how much detail the menu itself shows.
- Search bar for finding a setting without scrolling
- Color-coded category themes, can be turned off
- Version labels next to individual options, can be turned off
- Tab headers across the top of the screen, can be turned off
Reese's Sodium Options for Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt
Reese's Sodium Options ships builds for Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt. Every build needs Sodium installed on the same loader, since the mod works by taking over Sodium's own settings screen instead of adding a separate one. It pairs cleanly with optional Sodium add-ons like Sodium Extra for extra options, or Iris Shaders when shaders are in the mix, both add their settings to the same redesigned screen instead of opening a second menu.
Supported Minecraft versions
The current release covers Minecraft 26.2, and past builds go back through the year.drop releases 26.1.2, 26.1.1, and 26.1, plus the 1.21 branch down to 1.16.5. Each build targets a specific Minecraft version, so match the download to the Minecraft and Sodium versions in use before installing.
Questions about Reese's Sodium Options.
5 questions
How do I install Reese's Sodium Options?
Install Sodium first, since Reese's Sodium Options only replaces Sodium's own settings screen and will not load without it. Download the build that matches the Minecraft version and mod loader in use, Fabric, NeoForge, or Quilt, then drop the jar file into the mods folder alongside Sodium and launch the game.
Does Reese's Sodium Options work with NeoForge?
Yes. Reese's Sodium Options ships separate builds for Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt, and each one needs the matching Sodium build installed on the same loader. Pick the NeoForge download for a NeoForge instance, the mod does not work across loaders.
Does Reese's Sodium Options require Sodium?
Yes, Sodium is a required dependency. Reese's Sodium Options does not add a new settings menu of its own, it replaces the one Sodium already provides, so the game will not launch with Reese's Sodium Options installed and Sodium missing.
Which Minecraft version does Reese's Sodium Options support?
The current build targets Minecraft 26.2. Earlier builds cover the 26.1 series and the 1.21 branch back through 1.16.5, so check the version list and pick the download that matches the Minecraft version and mod loader currently in use.
Does Reese's Sodium Options change how Minecraft renders?
No. Reese's Sodium Options only changes the layout of Sodium's settings screen, it does not touch chunk rendering, frame pacing, or any of the graphics work Sodium itself performs. Anyone looking for a rendering or performance change should look at Sodium or Sodium Extra instead.
