Graphics and driversSodium Crash on Video Settings: 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
- Update both your integrated (Intel or AMD) and dedicated (NVIDIA or AMD) graphics drivers using the installers directly from the chipmakers' websites rather than Windows Update.
- On Windows laptops with hybrid graphics, go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics, add the javaw.exe used by your Minecraft launcher, and set its GPU preference to High Performance instead of Let Windows decide.
- Restart your computer (using Restart rather than Shut Down) or toggle your laptop's GPU/MUX mode in your manufacturer control software to force Windows to refresh its display resolution list.
- If you are playing over a remote desktop or Linux virtual screen, configure your virtual display driver to report at least two standard monitor resolutions.
- As a temporary workaround to change graphics settings without crashing, close the game and edit options.txt and config/sodium-options.json directly in your Minecraft instance folder, and update Sodium to the newest release for your game version.
