📋 About This Mod
Over Vulkan uses a rendering mod called VulkanMod giving it better performance than Sodium. Normal Minecraft uses OpenGL for rendering. Vulkan is a different way of rendering a game, with waaay better performance. Expect around 500% more fps compared to vanilla (Dependent on your hardware). _Example: 200 Vanilla to >1000 Over Vulkan (render distance at 16 Vanilla and 32 for Over Vulkan)_
### Compatibility Because this pack uses a different way of rendering, Vulkan, some mods wont be compatible. Mainly mods that adjust major visuals like Distant Horizons. Here is a (https://github.com/xCollateral/VulkanMod/wiki/Incompatible-mods) (note: this list is outdated, check the VulkanMod discord for an up to date list). It's compatible with servers.
### Gameplay No changes are made to the gameplay, because this pack is designed to be a foundation for your own pack or an optimized version of vanilla.
### Requirements To speed up chunk generation and general performance, a minimum of 2500-3500 Mb allocated memory is recommended. This is dependend on your render distance so playing with lower render distance allows a lower amount of allocated memory. _Installed Modpack > Settings > Java and memory > Memory allocated._
If you are experiencing stuttering, increase allocated memory or decrease render distance from the default 28! *** !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/wrpRnrwT/images/2549b36abff25062f83e10878025bcff46f31571.webp)
