Description

This lightweight optimization modpack utilizes Vulkan instead of OpenGL as the rendering engine. Due to this, some well-known optimization mods like Sodium couldn't be included, and shaders are not supported (for now). However, it still provides a significant FPS boost while maintaining the vanilla gameplay experience.

For players who prefer a pure FPS boost without additional quality-of-life improvements, check out the "Vulkan Plus" modpack.

Please note that this modpack will only be updated for the latest version the Vulkan mod supports. Older versions will not receive further updates.
