Sodium Crash: "centroid" is null in DynamicTopoData Translucent Sorting

What the log looks like

Cannot invoke "org\.joml\.Vector3fc\.distanceSquared\(org\.joml\.Vector3fc\)" because "centroid" is null

How to fix it

1. Disable shaders before joining the world or Realm: open Options -> Video Settings -> Shader Packs from the main menu and toggle shaders off, or open `config/iris.properties` and set `enableShaders=false`.
2. Remove active resource packs temporarily from Options -> Resource Packs to confirm whether a custom block model is triggering the invalid translucent geometry.
3. Update both Sodium and Iris Shaders to the newest versions available for your exact Minecraft release, as fixes for translucent sorting edge cases are included in newer Sodium builds.
4. If the game loads normally without shaders, test a different shader pack or turn off shader settings that make extra blocks or foliage translucent.
