Vulkan Plus
An Optimization Modpack using the Vulkan Rendering Engine
Quick answer
Which Vulkan Plus release should I use?
Vulkan Plus v2.7 is a complete pack release for 26.1.2 with Fabric 0.19.5. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 11 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Vulkan Plus for players and a server?
Use Vulkan Plus v2.7 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.
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.
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 Plus?
Vulkan Plus v2.7. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Vulkan Plus v2.7. That file is for Minecraft 26.1.2 with Fabric 0.19.5. It contains 11 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.
About this project
What kind of pack is Vulkan Plus?
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 "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.
