Issues

Before asking for help, if your instance is crashing check if your system supports Vulkan and if any of the mods listed in the link below is present in your instance.

Please before reporting any new issue check if it already exists.

Compatibility

Mod compatibility is not guaranteed. When VulkanMod is loaded, mods that make direct calls to OpenGL might crash the game.
Check Incompatible mods list to make sure you are not using one of them.
