Volt for Sodium

 Volt for Sodium Addon

Sodium Volt is a Fabric addon that expands Sodium with extra performance, security, privacy, stability, and real-time monitoring features.

 Features

 Performance

– Volt Guard – Protects frame stability by limiting excessive particle, block-entity, and display-entity rendering. It gives priority to nearby and gameplay-important effects.
– Adaptive Performance Controller – Dynamically adjusts selected graphics settings to help reach a target FPS. It includes Balanced, Max Quality, and Max Performance profiles.
– Visibility-Aware Particle Scheduler – Prioritizes visible, nearby, and important particles while reducing work from distant, hidden, or repeated decorative particles.
– Block Entity Render-budgeting – Limits expensive block-entity rendering in dense areas while keeping nearby, targeted, and recently used block entities responsive.
– Animated Texture Throttling (Experimental) – Pauses unseen animations and updates distant animations less often. Important vanilla textures and interface textures can stay at full speed.
– VRAM Pressure Protection (Experimental) – Estimates graphics-memory pressure and can gradually lower render distance before heavy memory pressure causes stuttering or driver instability.
– Smart FPS – Reduces FPS while Minecraft is minimized, unfocused, or running on battery. Normal FPS limits return automatically when the condition ends.

 Security

– Resource-Pack Shield – Checks selected local and server-downloaded resource packs before they reload.
– Archive and resource limits – Limits file counts, archive size, expanded resource size, total read size, and ZIP compression ratios to reduce resource-exhaustion and decompression-bomb risks.
– Image and JSON checks – Limits PNG dimensions and pixel counts, and rejects excessively deep or malformed JSON structures.
– Path protection – Detects unsafe paths, excessive path depth, linked files, and other suspicious pack layouts.
– Core shader protection – Can block untrusted resource packs from overriding Minecraft core shaders.
– Safe reports and notifications – Can show fixed warnings and write a small sanitized local report without storing server, account, world, pack, or device names.

 Privacy

– Privacy Screenshot Mode – Takes an ordinary F2 screenshot using a temporary privacy-safe render frame without changing saved video or HUD settings.
– Sensitive overlay hiding – Can hide chat, the debug overlay, player list, scoreboard, boss bars, titles, subtitles, toasts, saving indicators, and entity name tags from the screenshot.
– Clean screenshot options – Can also hide the gameplay HUD, hands, and held item for cleaner images.
– Screen blocking – Can refuse privacy screenshots while menus, chat, inventories, loading screens, or other screens are open.
– Randomized filenames – Can replace timestamp-based screenshot names with random neutral names.
– Fail-closed protection – Can refuse a screenshot when a privacy-safe capture cannot be prepared instead of silently saving an unsafe image.

 Stability

– Volt Recovery – Detects unclean previous sessions and can start the next launch with a conservative graphics safe mode.
– Recovery loop protection – Limits repeated recovery attempts so the game does not keep applying safe mode forever.
– Owned setting restoration – Restores only settings that Volt Recovery changed, preserving later changes made by the player or another controller.
– GPU Timeout Watchdog – Watches render-frame heartbeats for possible GPU or renderer stalls while avoiding expected loading, paused, minimized, and resource-reload states.
– Watchdog recovery handoff – Can prepare Volt Recovery for the next launch after a confirmed possible render stall.
– Sanitized stability reports – Can write bounded local recovery and watchdog reports without private paths, server details, account data, or telemetry.

 Others

– Volt Inspector – Provides a configurable in-game HUD with frame-time statistics, chunk activity, scene complexity, particles, animated textures, garbage collection, GPU details, resource reload timing, and simple performance suggestions.
– Volt Binds – Adds a native Minecraft keybind for quickly showing or hiding the Volt Inspector HUD.
– Automatic Context Profiles – Stores separate graphics profiles for global defaults, single-player saves, and individual multiplayer servers.
– Private profile identifiers – Uses bounded salted hashes for saved worlds and servers instead of storing raw world paths or server addresses in the Profiles configuration.
– Factory Reset – Resets Volt options to the factory’s default in case something goes wrong with your setup.
