Um, if I understood you correctly... the Sodium jar is not an installer. You have to drop it into your mods folder.

Well now I feel stupid, I thought Sodium would be a replacement for OptiFine but I guess not

What do you mean by that? You don't need installers for mods, just install the needed mod loader and drag the jar file of the mod you downloaded into the mods folder. Or use a launcher like MultiMC to make it even easier. There's not much to it.

OptiFine can be installed just by itself, so one doesn't need a mod loader like Forge or Fabric for it. That's what I ment.

aahh, what people usually mean when they say sodium is a replacement for optifine is not that it would be 100% a drop in process (everything from installation to usage to everything else is exactly 1:1 the same). what they mean is that it only replaces its ingame optimisation functionality. sodium still needs to be installed alongside with fabric and api
