🌫️ ExtraSodiumFogFix - Vanilla Fog Restoration

About the Modification

This modification ensures the preservation of original fog behavior in Minecraft, maintaining fair gameplay conditions even when using optimization mods like Sodium Extra. Many visual enhancements offer fog settings for performance improvement or graphics enhancement, but some of these changes (such as complete fog removal) can create unfair advantages in multiplayer modes.

ExtraSodiumFogFix allows you to continue using your favorite mods while blocking only those fog settings that disrupt game balance - such as the ability to see through water, lava, or at excessively long distances.

Key Features

• No hard dependency on Sodium or Sodium Extra
• Compatibility with any mods affecting fog - thanks to mixin application with priority 1400
• Preservation of gameplay fairness without the need for complete prohibition of useful modifications

Performance Comparison

Left: fog disabled (with modifier settings), Right: restored vanilla fog (with this mod)

Compatibility

• ✅ Support for Fabric and Quilt
• ✅ Works with Sodium Extra and without it
• ✅ No additional dependencies required
• 🚫 Does not block all fog changes - only neutralizes unfair settings
• 🧠 Mixin priority @Mixin(priority = 1400) overrides other interventions (for example, Sodium Extra with 1300)

Installation

1. Install Fabric or Quilt Loader
2. Download the .jar file of this modification
3. Place the file in the mods folder
4. Done - fog will return to vanilla appearance while maintaining support for other visual mods

Why is This Important?

Some mods in pursuit of performance or graphics improvement make fog too transparent, leading to:

• Increased viewing range beyond what is intended
• Ability to see structures through water or snow
• Obtaining unfair advantages in PvP battles

This modification does not break other mods' functionality but only restores balance, allowing the use of custom settings without compromising game fairness.
