📋 About This Mod
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 want additional quality-of-life improvements, check out the "(https://modrinth.com/project/vulkan-plus-qol)" 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.
