well-tested and works

mod	status	notes
Lithium	works	no conflicts, they cover different areas. Lithium does game logic, Helium does rendering
Iris	works	shader compatibility is fine, Helium's GL cache and DSA features work alongside Iris
ImmediatelyFast	works	GL state cache auto-disables when ImmediatelyFast is detected to avoid double-tracking
ViaFabricPlus	works	no protocol conflicts
ModMenu	works	optional, adds a settings shortcut in the mod list
Indium	works	Sodium rendering API compatibility layer, no conflicts
Entity Culling	works	both can run simultaneously, Helium's culling uses a distance approach while Entity Culling does frustum/occlusion, no conflicts
Reese's Sodium Options	works	just a Sodium UI mod, no issues
Sodium Extra	works	no conflicts

platform support

platform	status	notes
Fabric	full support	primary target
Quilt	supported	works via CrossLoaderCompat
Forge	not supported	Fabric/Quilt only
NeoForge	not supported	Fabric/Quilt only
Android / PojavLauncher	partial	GL state cache disables automatically, most other features may not work correctly since Helium targets desktop OpenGL, not OpenGL ES

---

ImmediatelyFast note

ImmediatelyFast and Helium both touch OpenGL state management. Helium detects ImmediatelyFast at startup via the Fabric mod loader API and disables its own GL state cache automatically. you don't need to do anything manually. both mods can run at the same time.

---

Iris note

when Iris is active, Helium detects it and stays compatible. some features like temporal reprojection are less useful with shaders since Iris manages its own rendering passes, but nothing will conflict or crash.
