Sodium Relief

🚀 Smooth your Minecraft inventory experience

Minecraft inventory can feel slightly stuttery — especially when hovering items, opening chests, or using modded GUIs. Sodium Relief is a lightweight client-side optimization mod that reduces small tooltip and hover-related stutter without changing gameplay.

⚙️ What it does

> Smooths tooltip rendering in inventory-like screens > Reduces redundant tooltip recalculations > Stabilizes hover behavior when moving the cursor across items > Improves responsiveness in chests, menus, and modded interfaces

🧠 How it works

Sodium Relief optimizes the tooltip pipeline by: - caching tooltip layout results (LRU + TTL) - reusing previously computed tooltip data - avoiding unnecessary recomputation during fast cursor movement - applying lightweight hover smoothing logic

All optimizations are client-side, safe, and designed to work alongside Sodium.

🎯 When it helps

You’ll notice the biggest improvement when:

- opening large inventories (chests, storage systems) - quickly hovering over many items - using mods with heavy or complex tooltips - experiencing subtle UI micro-stutter

- ❗ What this mod does NOT do - ❌ Does NOT increase FPS in the world - ❌ Does NOT optimize chunks, rendering, or GPU load - ❌ Does NOT act as a general performance booster

This is a focused GUI smoothness mod, not a full optimization suite.

🧩 Compatibility

- ✔ Fabric (Minecraft 1.21+) - ✔ Client-side only - ✔ Works best with Sodium - ✔ Safe to use on servers (no gameplay changes) - 💡 Why use Sodium Relief?

Most performance mods focus on rendering or world logic. Sodium Relief focuses on UI smoothness, solving a small but noticeable source of micro-stutter that is often ignored.
