Mod conflictsSodium Video Settings Crash: Maximum Value Must Be Greater Than Minimum Value
What it looks like in the log
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The maximum value must be greater than the minimum value
How to fix it
- Remove any utility clients, hacked clients, or standalone fullbright/gamma mods, as they commonly inject out-of-bounds slider values that fail Sodium's strict validation.
- Update Sodium and any Sodium add-on mods (such as Reese's Sodium Options and Sodium Extra) so all of them match your Minecraft version and are built for the same Sodium release.
- Maximize the Minecraft window or press F11 to switch to fullscreen before clicking Video Settings, in case a tiny window resolution caused the maximum GUI scale slider value to drop to the minimum.
- Delete options.txt and the config/sodium-options.json file (plus config/sodium-extra-options.json if installed) in your Minecraft game directory to reset any corrupted video slider limits.
