How to fix it

1. Replace any snapshot, CI, or development builds of Sodium with an official release build from Modrinth or CurseForge that matches your exact Minecraft version.
2. Update Sodium addons such as Sodium Extra, Reese's Sodium Options, and Indium so their versions explicitly support your installed release of Sodium.
3. Remove client-side utility or cheat mods (such as NoRender, Freecam, or hacked client mods) that hook into camera, distortion, or player rendering when joining a world.
4. If you are running Fabric rendering mods on Quilt through Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI), test the same mod list on standard Fabric Loader with Fabric API to rule out loader compatibility issues.
5. Open the full crash report or latest.log and check the 'Mixins in Stacktrace' section near the bottom to identify any remaining mod injecting into net.minecraft.class_757.
