Frequently asked

Does Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) work on Minecraft 26.2?

Yes. 26.2 is the newest Minecraft version Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.16.1 up to 26.2. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) on the client or the server?

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

Which loader does Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) need?

Quilt, NeoForge, Fabric. A build for one loader will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB)?

On the newest Minecraft release it supports, Java 25 or newer. The requirement comes from the Minecraft version you run rather than from the mod itself, so on an older supported Minecraft the answer is that version's Java, not this one.

What licence is Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) under?

LGPL-3.0-only, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB)?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) safely?

From the author's own page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
