Description

This is a mod that introduces a brand new Vulkan based rendering engine to Minecraft in order to bring performance and graphical improvements, but even new features that are only possible thanks to the new graphics APIs. --- Developing this mod requires huge amounts of time and effort. If you want to help me continue developing this project, consider buying me a coffee.

## Installation ![fabric](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@intergrav/devins-badges@3/assets/cozy/supported/fabric_vector.svg) ### Requirements - A device (GPU) that supports Vulkan (1.2 or higher) - [Fabric mod loader](https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/) ### Steps - Move `VulkanMod.jar` to `mods` folder of your Minecraft Instance. ## What about shaders? ### If you want to use shaders with VulkanMod, then check out [**Beryl**](https://modrinth.com/mod/beryl)

Please before reporting any new issue check if it already exists. ## Compatibility Mod compatibility is not guaranteed. When VulkanMod is loaded, mods that make direct calls to OpenGL might crash the game. Check [Incompatible mods](https://github.com/xCollateral/VulkanMod/discussions/226) list to make sure you are not using one of them.
