About this project

What does SOL by tan.go add?

SOL is a highly experimental native Vulkan rendering engine for Minecraft Java Edition. It replaces Minecraft's standard world-rendering pipeline with a native rendering engine written in C++.

It targets to optimize performance while expanding the possibilities of graphics and shaders in Minecraft

Please remember: SOL is experimental. You may encounter rendering issues, performance inconsistencies, or other bugs depending on your system. If you encounter a problem, please report it on our support server.
