Sodium Blur
by WyKaxee
Sodium Blur adds a motion blur effect for camera movement to Minecraft, with its intensity adjustable from Sodium's video settings menu.
What it does
Sodium Blur blurs the view while the camera moves, and the strength of the effect can be set from the video settings menu that Sodium provides. It is a Fabric mod for the 26.3 line and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Files cover game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the latest build is 1.0.9+26.3 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-19. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Camera motion blur
A blur effect applies while the camera moves, which softens fast turns and movement on screen.
Adjustable intensity
The effect strength can be changed from Sodium's video settings menu, so players can dial it up or down.
Client-only install
Only players need the mod installed; the server side can run without it.
