# Introduction | |
This text is some kind of personal notes I save here, but it may be | |
useful for some people. Don't expect high quality writing here 😀. | |
# Modding | |
Minecraft is quite slow and unoptimized, fortunately using the mod | |
"Sodium", you get access to more advanced video settings that allow to | |
reduce the computer power usage, or just make the game playable for | |
older computers. | |
Sodium GitHub page | |
This requires PolyMC, a launcher for Minecraft which takes care of mods | |
and other things. PolyMC is available on Linux and Windows. | |
PolyMC wiki | |
# Setup | |
In PolyMC: | |
* create a new instance | |
* pick your the minecraft version you want | |
* below the minecraft versions, in "mod loader", choose "Fabric" and | |
choose the version you want (the one with the star is recommended) | |
* Press Ok | |
* Modify the instance and choose Mods tab / right click on it to see | |
the mods | |
* Click on "Download mods" | |
* Search "Sodium" in the list and click on it | |
* Click on "Add mod for download" | |
* Press OK | |
* Close | |
Now, your Minecraft is using the Sodium mod, this allows greater choice | |
within the "Video settings" like the Performance tab with more options. |
