Faster on Vulkan

Makes Minecraft an order of magnitude faster, mainly by using a whole new, Vulkan-based rendering engine.

How it works:

The core of this modpack, VulkanMod, rewrites Minecraft's renderer using the Vulkan graphics API instead of the classic OpenGL, unlike most mods, such as Sodium and OptiFine.

Vulkan, being significantly faster and more modern, makes it a much better choice than OpenGL for the vast majority of computers running Minecraft nowadays.

• Misc: BadOptimizations, ModernFix, Lithium, STFU
• Multiplayer: Very Many Players
• Worldgen: C2ME, FastNoiseMod, Super Fast Math
• Rendering: VulkanMod, ScalableLux, MoreCulling
• Memory: FerriteCore, ModernFix
• Libraries: YACL, Cloth Config, Fabric API

Who should use this:

1. Users with a Vulkan-compatible device (must have Vulkan 1.2+)
2. Players that don't see acceptable performance using Sodium and other mods
3. People who do not mind sacrificing mod, shader, and resource pack compatibility
   • Mods like EMF, ETF, Nvidium and Distant Horizons will never work
   • VulkanMod does not support shaders yet Beryl supports shaders on Vulkan!
   • Resource packs may need incompatible mods to work properly (e.g. Fresh Animations uses EMF/ETF)

Recommendations:

Use Java 25 (Eclipse Temurin is recommended) with these flags for the best performance on most devices:

This can be done quite easily with Prism Launcher

Known issues:

• Many mod incompatibilities
• Unlikely support for Windows and Linux on ARM
