About this Mod
Metallum
Metallum is an experimental rendering backend for Minecraft on macOS that uses Apple’s Metal API instead of OpenGL/Vulkan. It provides a more native rendering path and aims to improve performance and efficiency on Apple Silicon.
This project is still experimental. Performance, stability, and compatibility may vary depending on your system and installed mods. If you encounter bugs, please report them on GitHub.

- macOS
- Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)

Does Metallum need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Metallum as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Metallum require?
Use a file for fabric, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.2-rc-2, 26.2-rc-1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Metallum is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
