Unsupported Mods and Clients (+ Workarounds/Fixes)

Not everything that works on PC works on PojavLauncher. Below is a non-exhaustive list of mods that may not work, along with fixes or workarounds.

Performance Mods + Shaders

• Sodium

  • GL4ES Patch

  • 0.5.x and later does not work without disabling the terrain optimization mixins. It's not recommended and therefore isn't faster than Vanilla/Optifine

• Embeddium

  • Same problem as Sodium

• Rubidium

  • Gl4ES Patch for GL4ES, otherwise same as the previous two

• Chlorine

• ShadersMod (GLSL Shaders)

• Iris, Iris Installer

• OptiFine

  • Render Regions don't work

• Optifine Shaders: The only supported shaders are Open4ES for GL4ES. It works best with Adreno graphics (found in Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs) and PowerVR graphics, with required patches (found in several low-end MediaTek SoCs). Mali GPUs are not supported. Below is a list of smartphones that are tested and works with Open4ES:

  • Xiaomi Poco F3 (Snapdragon 870)
