VulkanMod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft that replaces the default OpenGL renderer with a custom Vulkan-based voxel rendering engine. It aims to reduce CPU and GPU overhead while adding rendering optimizations and features like native Wayland support.

Use cases

  • improve minecraft fps with a vulkan renderer
  • replace minecraft's opengl renderer with vulkan
  • reduce cpu and gpu overhead in minecraft
  • run minecraft natively on wayland
  • optimize chunk and entity rendering in minecraft
  • get better performance on modern gpus in minecraft

When to choose

  • you want higher framerates and lower CPU overhead in Minecraft
  • you are on Linux and want native Wayland support
  • your GPU and drivers have good Vulkan support
  • you want modern rendering features not possible with OpenGL

When to avoid

  • you rely on OptiFine or Iris shader packs without the Beryl companion mod
  • your hardware or drivers lack solid Vulkan support
  • you need maximum mod compatibility, since renderer-replacing mods can conflict with other rendering mods
