More Vulkan
This modpack replaces the rendering engine with Vulkan, which is more efficient than both OpenGL or Sodium on modern hardware. Along with extra optimizations.

About this Modpack
This modpack aims to increase performance by replacing Minecraft's laughably inefficient rendering engine, OpenGL, with a more modern approach: Vulkan. This can increase your performance by upwards of 100% depending on your hardware, especially when paired with other popular optimization mods like Lithium!
- Although Vulkan IS coming to Java Edition natively, VulkanMod is still far better than native Vulkan as of right now especially when paired with a suite of 20+ performance mods and small QoL tweaks like 3D Skin Layers, Zoomify, Chat Heads, and Chat Animations.
Performance Results (Based on my hardware configuration):
- 920 FPS without More Vulkan (and not as stable)
- 2000+ FPS with More Vulkan (and it is much more stable)
These results were achieved on a setup featuring an RTX 5060, Intel Core Ultra 5 225F, and 6GB of RAM allocated to Minecraft. Tested on Windows 11 with Nvidia drivers 596.21.

Frequently Asked Questions
More Vulkan server crashes or won't start – what to do?
Most common causes: insufficient RAM or wrong fabric loader. Check latest.log for "OutOfMemoryError" → increase RAM to at least 6 GB. For "Mixin" or "ClassNotFoundException" errors: modpack version and loader don't match. With Mado Hosting, loader and Minecraft version are auto-configured on modpack install – preventing most startup issues.
How much RAM does a More Vulkan server really need?
Minimum 4 GB, recommended 6 GB for stable performance. per 8 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €8/month).
Can I add custom mods to More Vulkan without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (26.1.2). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
More Vulkan server lagging – performance tips
1) Increase RAM to 6 GB+. 2) Reduce server view-distance to 8 (server.properties). 3) Pre-generate chunks with the "Chunky" plugin. 4) Use /spark profiler to check which mods consume the most tick time. With Mado Hosting, all servers run on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores – eliminating hardware as a bottleneck.
