Quick answer

Which Valkaw release matches NeoForge?

Updated last month
Best match for your filters NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9
Game version 1.21.10
Loader NeoForge 21.10.63

NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9 is a complete pack release for 1.21.10 with NeoForge 21.10.63. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. For this loader, use Java 21. 39 mods in this pack file.

Pack setup

How should I set up Valkaw for players and a server?

Use NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9 as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.

Client instance Install NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9
Dedicated server setup Match NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9
Pack loader NeoForge 21.10.63
Java version Java 21

A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.

Plan the server requirements Read the Minecraft installation guide
Referenced mods 39
Client only 24
Server only 2
Not labelled 13

These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.

What are the server requirements for Valkaw?

NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9 on NeoForge. The pack contents and setup notes below stay tied to that release.

39 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is NeoForge 1.21.10 v1.9. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.10 with NeoForge 21.10.63. This NeoForge setup needs Java 21. It contains 39 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.

What is Valkaw?

Valkaw is a high-performance modpack forked from Sliwed Optimize. We're constantly updating it to squeeze out better frame rates and fix issues, ensuring the project keeps moving forward smoothly.

Core Features

We've focused on three main upgrades to make your game lighter and faster:

Fastest Performance HUD
Powered by Hudder, FlexHUD, and CustomHUD, this displays the stats you actually need without hogging your resources.

Smart Resource Manager
We use FerriteCore and "Put A Plug In it!" to keep your RAM usage in check. Plus, EntityCulling uses your CPU to calculate what you can see in real-time, skipping the rendering of anything hidden behind blocks.

OptiFine Features
Missing Zoom or Dynamic Lights? No problem. With WI Zoom and LambDynamicLights, you get those familiar features back, now running on the faster Sodium or VulkanMod engines.

Main Optimization Mods

Valkaw offers two different rendering paths depending on your hardware. Choose the version that best suits your system!

1. Sodium Edition (Standard)

The standard, highly compatible optimization route using the OpenGL API. Perfect for most users and supports shaders.

Click to expand the Sodium modlist
  • Sodium: The absolute best modern rendering engine for Minecraft.
  • Lithium: General-purpose optimization for game physics, AI, and block ticking.
  • FerriteCore: Significantly reduces the memory footprint of the game.
  • EntityCulling: Skips rendering hidden entities/tiles to boost performance.
  • Iris Shaders: Seamless, high-performance shader support (the best OptiFine alternative).

2. VulkanMod Edition (Maximum Raw Performance)

A wildly powerful route that completely replaces OpenGL with the Vulkan API. Incredible for squeezing out the absolute maximum raw FPS. Requires Vulkan API 1.3.

Click to expand the VulkanMod modlist
  • VulkanMod: Rewrites Minecraft's renderer to use the Vulkan API, drastically reducing CPU overhead and boosting FPS.
  • Lithium: General-purpose optimization for game physics, AI, and block ticking.
  • FerriteCore: Significantly reduces the memory footprint of the game.
  • EntityCulling: Skips rendering hidden entities/tiles to boost performance.
  • Beryl: A mod that provides shaders like Vibrant Visuals, created specifically to improve the realistic gaming experience with VulkanMod.
