Sodium/Embeddium Device Check 钠/铷-设备检测
by LoongLy
Sodium/Embeddium Device Check, a Client-side only optimization add-on, reads the player's hardware and software so the video settings can be adjusted to match the machine.
What it does
This add-on for the Sodium rendering mod, which works with Embeddium, adds a screen that reports the CPU, graphics card, memory and software environment. Its information covers the CPU model, supplier, physical cores, logical cores, threads and frequency; the graphics card model, supplier, memory and driver; the memory size and module details; and the Java runtime, operating system and OpenGL versions. The screen is meant to help a player decide on image quality after seeing what the machine can handle.
The mod requires both Rubidium and Sodium to be installed, and it only works with a Sodium version that is compatible with Embeddium. Because it is Client-side only, the server does not need it, and players on a server that does not run it are unaffected. Files cover Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 1.16.3 – 26.3 across 37 release versions. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
