Bug: Crash "Sodium mod config not found" when Bits 'n' Bobs is installed alongside Sodium

[merchizm]

Describe the bug
The game crashes with "Sodium mod config not found" during the loading overlay render when Create: Bits 'n' Bobs is installed alongside Sodium. Removing Bits 'n' Bobs from the mod list resolves the crash and the game launches normally with all other mods (including Sodium) unchanged.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Create: Bits 'n' Bobs (latest version) alongside Sodium 0.8.12-beta.2 on NeoForge 21.1.234, Minecraft 1.21.1
2. Launch the game
3. Game crashes during the loading overlay with java.lang.RuntimeException: Sodium mod config not found
4. Remove Bits 'n' Bobs only (keep Sodium and all other mods) → game launches successfully

This can also be reproduced by adding Create: Bits 'n' Bobs to the "Meric's Wonderland" modpack (v0.2): https://modrinth.com/modpack/merics-wonderland — installing this mod on top of that pack triggers the same crash.

Expected behavior
The game should launch normally with both Bits 'n' Bobs and Sodium installed, without a config registration conflict.

Using meric's wonderland with bits n bobs (2.1.11-beta) is installed, I am able to boot completely fine, could you provide a latest.log? i think the current crash error is a bit of a red herring.
