What has to be improved/added?

Hi,
I'm a maintainer on Sodium and today we published the first alpha from our graduated backport experiment. This means that we now have Sodium 0.8.12 on 1.21.1. You can find more information about this in our blog post on discord.

We've since received this user report related to Chunks Fade In interacting with Sodium and crashing, according to this user report. The gist is that since 0.8.x includes many changes to various parts of Sodium, including our new Config API, mods such as Sable or this one, will encounter breakage when users (cluelessly) update modpacks with the latest published versions.

If you'd like to coordinate more closely with us, you're invited to our discord server. I marked this as an "enhancement" since this software is currently in alpha and not the mainline release, so a lack of compatibility is not a fault on your part, but rather I would just like to notify you of the situation. I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble!

Thanks!

Thanks for letting me know. I'm currently fixing compatibility with DH 3.0.0 along with other bugs. I'll make sure that all versions that I'll update will work the new Sodium versions.
