Loader Fabric 0.19.3

Pack setup

How should I set up Vulkan Droid for players and a server?

Use Vulkan Droid Distant Horizons 1.21.11 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 Vulkan Droid Distant Horizons 1.21.11
Dedicated server setup Match Vulkan Droid Distant Horizons 1.21.11
Pack loader Fabric 0.19.3

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.

Referenced mods 12
Client only 6
Server only 0
Not labelled 6

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 Vulkan Droid?

Vulkan Droid Distant Horizons 1.21.11. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.

12 mods in this pack file

The selected pack release is Vulkan Droid Distant Horizons 1.21.11. That file is for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric 0.19.3. It contains 12 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.

This modpack was put together for Android users that want to use OR try the Vulkan Mod with the proper libraries it needs to actually work.  Make sure to pay attention the the tips and check the tips/important info section.  Vulkan Mod is still being worked on as well, and it might be more performant on some devices but not on others as it was originally made for PC in mind.
