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.<\/p>\n

For players who prefer a pure FPS boost without additional quality-of-life improvements, check out the “Vulkan Plus” modpack.<\/p>\n

Please note that this modpack will only be updated for the latest version the Vulkan mod supports. Older versions will not receive further updates.<\/p>\n

## **FAQ**<\/p>\n

**What are the requirements to run this Modpack?**<\/p>\n

* You need a GPU that supports at least Vulkan 1.2. To check if your GPU supports Vulkan, run “vulkaninfo” in a terminal or command prompt.<\/p>\n

**Which graphics cards support Vulkan 1.2?**<\/p>\n

* **AMD:** Radeon RX 400 series and newer
\n* **Nvidia:** GeForce GTX 900 series and newer<\/p>\n

**”My GPU supports Vulkan 1.2, but the game crashes!”**<\/p>\n

* Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed:
\n AMD Driver Download
\n Nvidia Driver Download<\/p>\n

**Does this modpack support shaders?**<\/p>\n

* Not yet. Shader support is being worked on by the Vulkan mod developers, but there’s still a long way to go.<\/p>\n
