Additional information

I just ran into this problem recently, it didn't happen before

surprisingly i solved it.i just launch the game on version 1.17.1 and click the "restore defaults" button.Then launch the game on version 1.16.5 and 1.17.1 alternatively.

Your config file had become corrupted, and newer versions of the mod now detect this issue and offer to correct it for you.

In the future, you can resolve this issue by deleting the .minecraft/config/sodium-options.json file to have Sodium restore the defaults on next game launch.
