Sodium 0.9.1-beta.2 for Minecraft 26.1.2 introduces asynchronous occlusion culling alongside other small improvements and fixes for crashes to improve stability.
This generally improves performance and avoids the frame rate dropping when the camera is moved, especially at high render distances. This feature has been in the works for a long time now, and together with the release for Minecraft 26.2, we've decided to release it. More work is planned, including improvements to the task scheduling system and optimizations to improve responsiveness.
