Performance

Sodium is fast... but this is faster.

On systems where drivers hold you back (older AMD cards, Intel iGPUs, and Nvidia), OpenGL can only go so far. VulkanMod fills that gap.

If your GPU is the bottleneck, Vulkan makes a noticeable difference.

What This Is

A lightweight renderer swap. No gameplay changes.

Core mods:

VulkanMod — replaces OpenGL with Vulkan
Lithium, ModernFix, FerriteCore — performance, memory, and chunk optimizations
Entity Culling, AsyncParticles — better frame efficiency
Dynamic FPS, ThreadTweak — resource management
Beryl <-- SHADERS!

Requirements

GPU: Vulkan 1.2 support (GTX 900+, RX 400+, Intel Arc)
OS: Windows 10+ or Linux (kernel 5.11+)
RAM: 4GB minimum (8GB allocated recommended)

Tip: Use vulkaninfo (Linux) or GPU-Z (Windows) to check support.

Limitations

No shader support! <-- WE GOT SHADER SUPPORT!
Some rendering bugs depending on hardware

On Linux, Wayland generally performs better than X11. On Windows, up-to-date GPU drivers are recommended.

How to Set Up a Vulkan Updated Server

Order Server

Choose at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for Vulkan Updated). Based on player count: per 8 players.

Install Modpack in Dashboard

Open the modpack browser in the dashboard, search for "Vulkan Updated" and click "Install". The fabric loader and Minecraft 26.1.2 are configured automatically.

Start Server & Play

Start the server – all mods are loaded automatically. Share the server IP with friends and play together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Vulkan Updated 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 Vulkan Updated 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 Vulkan Updated 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.

Vulkan Updated 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.
