Reading the logSodium Mod Config Not Found (Hidden NeoForge Mod Loading Error)
What the log looks like
java\.lang\.RuntimeException: Sodium mod config not found
net\.caffeinemc\.mods\.sodium\.client\.config\.ConfigManager\.registerConfigs\(ConfigManager\.java
How to fix it
- Open logs/latest.log from your instance folder rather than relying only on the crash report, as the real failure happens earlier during mod loading.
- Search latest.log above the Sodium crash for lines containing ERROR, Error during pre-loading phase, Failed to register, NoClassDefFoundError, or MixinPreProcessorException.
- Check the bottom of the crash report as well for any Caused by section that names a completely different mod.
- Remove, update, or install the required dependencies for the mod identified in that earlier error (frequent causes include incompatible mods loaded through Sinytra Connector or outdated addons).
- If you have trouble finding the culprit in latest.log, temporarily disable Sodium and launch the game once so NeoForge can display its built-in error screen naming the broken mod, then re-enable Sodium after fixing it.
