Indium 1.21.5 is a crucial performance mod for players using Sodium, allowing greater mod compatibility without sacrificing FPS and stability. If you’re running Fabric and using Sodium for performance optimization, Indium helps ensure that other rendering-based mods work properly alongside it.
While Sodium is an excellent tool for boosting Minecraft’s performance, it lacks support for many Fabric rendering mods. That’s where Indium comes in—it restores compatibility with features like Canvas Renderer, LambdaBetterGrass, and other mods that rely on Fabric’s Renderer API.
This guide will cover everything you need to know about Indium 1.21.5, including its best features, installation process, and comparisons to other optimization mods. Let’s dive in!
Key Features
- Sodium Compatibility Fix: Enables rendering mods to work alongside Sodium.
- Fabric Renderer API Support: Allows mods like LambdaBetterGrass and EMI to function properly.
- Lightweight & Performance-Friendly: Minimal impact on FPS while restoring mod support.
