About this Modpack

🔥 VulkanLight

VulkanLight is a lightweight Fabric modpack built around VulkanMod. The goal is maximum performance on low-end and mid-range PCs, especially those with older or weaker GPUs. No Sodium, no bloat.

There is also SodiumLight for full shader support and maximum mod compatibility. But important: VulkanLight gives better performance on most GPUs, but some mods may not work, or may need Vulkan ports / compatibility mods.

⚠️ Shader support (Beryl): The pack includes Beryl — an experimental shader mod for Vulkan. However, it is unstable, not recommended, and may cause crashes or visual glitches. Use at your own risk.


⚙️ What's inside

  • VulkanMod + Not Enough Vulkan — modern rendering via Vulkan API
  • Lithium, C2ME, ModernFix, FerriteCore — logic and memory optimization
  • Krypton, ImmediatelyFast, More Culling — network and rendering tweaks
  • Jade, BetterF3, Chat Heads, Shulker Box Tooltip — QoL without FPS loss

🎯 Who is it for

  • You want high render distance (up to 32 chunks) without major FPS drops
  • You have an older PC or weak GPU
  • You don't need shaders, just smooth gameplay
  • You're tired of bloated Sodium packs

⚙️ Recommendations

  • RAM: allocate 4GB (-Xms4G -Xmx4G)
  • VSync: disable in game settings

VulkanLight — just Vulkan.

🔥 VulkanLight

VulkanLight — лёгкая сборка на Fabric, построенная вокруг VulkanMod. Главная цель — максимальная производительность на слабых и средних ПК, особенно со старыми или слабыми видеокартами. Без Sodium и мусора.

Также есть SodiumLight для полной поддержки шейдеров и максимальной совместимости с модами. Но важно: VulkanLight даёт лучшую производительность на большинстве видеокарт, но некоторые моды могут не работать, или нужны Vulkan порты / моды совместимости.

⚠️ Поддержка шейдеров (Beryl): В сборку включён Beryl — экспериментальный мод для шейдеров на Vulkan. Однако он нестабилен, не рекомендуется к использованию и может вызывать вылеты или визуальные артефакты. Используйте на свой страх и риск.


⚙️ Что внутри

  • VulkanMod + Not Enough Vulkan — современный рендеринг через Vulkan API
  • Lithium, C2ME, ModernFix, FerriteCore — оптимизация логики и памяти
  • Krypton, ImmediatelyFast, More Culling — ускорение сети и отрисовки
  • Jade, BetterF3, Chat Heads, Shulker Box Tooltip — удобство без потери FPS

🎯 Для кого

  • Вы хотите играть с большой дальностью прорисовки (до 32 чанков) без сильных просадок
  • У вас старый ПК или слабая видеокарта
  • Вам не нужны шейдеры, но нужна плавность
  • Вы устали от перегруженных Sodium-сборок

⚙️ Рекомендации

  • ОЗУ: выделите 4 ГБ (-Xms4G -Xmx4G)

VulkanLight — просто Vulkan.

Frequently Asked Questions

VulkanLight 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 VulkanLight 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 VulkanLight without conflicts?

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) and same Minecraft version (1.21.11). 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.

VulkanLight 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.
