Description

Vulkan Essentials

⚠ The project is still in alpha. ⚠

Bring Essential and VulkanMod together.

Vulkan Essentials is an unofficial compatibility layer that helps Essential Mod work correctly with VulkanMod by fixing rendering issues between the two mods.

The goal is to keep Essential's interface, overlays, cosmetics, notifications, and social features working while VulkanMod's Vulkan renderer remains enabled. Join My Discord!
