Sodium Crash: Tried to Mark Light Data as Ready for Unloaded Chunk

What it looks like in the log

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Tried to mark light data as ready for chunk [-11, 4] but it hasn't been loaded yet

How to fix it

1. Update Sodium to the newest release available for your Minecraft version, as later versions fixed how out-of-order chunk light packets are handled.
2. Update companion mods such as Iris, Sodium Extra, and Reese's Sodium Options at the same time so they match your updated Sodium version.
3. If you are already on the latest Sodium build for an older Minecraft version (such as 1.18.2 or 1.19), remove client-side lighting mods like Phosphor from your mods folder, as they can alter light update timing.
4. If the crash only occurs when joining servers on a different Minecraft version, update or temporarily remove protocol translation mods like ViaFabric and ViaBackwards, which frequently send chunk and light packets out of order during teleports.
