Wrong Minecraft version

Sodium Crash on World Load: VertexType ClassNotFoundException

What the log looks like

java\.lang\.ClassNotFoundException: me\.jellysquid\.mods\.sodium\.client\.model\.vertex\.type\.VertexType
java\.lang\.NoClassDefFoundError: me/jellysquid/mods/sodium/client/model/vertex/type/VertexType

How to fix it

  1. Update Physics Mod to the latest version available for your Minecraft version, as outdated builds are the most frequent cause of this specific particle-rendering crash.
  2. Update all other rendering mods and Sodium add-ons (such as Iris Shaders, Indium, Sodium Extra, or Continuity) so they match your installed Sodium version.
  3. If updating those mods does not stop the crash, check your mods folder for other particle or visual effect mods and remove or update them one by one, or downgrade Sodium to version 0.4.8 if a required mod has not updated yet.
