Sodium Crash: Translucent Sorting "centroid" is null (DynamicTopoData)

What the log looks like

java\.lang\.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org\.joml\.Vector3fc\.distanceSquared\(org\.joml\.Vector3fc\)" because "centroid" is null
net\.caffeinemc\.mods\.sodium\.client\.render\.chunk\.translucent_sorting\.data\.DynamicTopoData\.distanceSortDirect

How to fix it

1. Open Options -> Video Settings -> Shader Packs from the main menu before joining the world and toggle shaders off (or press 'K' in-game before chunks load) to confirm the active shader pack is triggering the crash.
2. Disable any active resource packs in Options -> Resource Packs that modify block models or glass/foliage transparency, then rejoin the world to test if a resource pack is responsible.
3. Update both Sodium and Iris Shaders to their newest available builds for your Minecraft version, as CaffeineMC actively patches translucent sorting edge cases in newer releases.
4. If the crash persists on the latest versions, switch to a different shader pack or disable custom block translucency options inside your shader pack's settings menu.
