About this Mod

VulkanDreno

Vulkan Dreno is a lightweight compatibility mod that fixes crashes affecting Supported Adreno 7xx GPUs on Android devices when using VulkanMod.

What problem does this fix?

Some Android devices (especially newer Adreno GPUs like 730, 740, A32 and others) expose Vulkan queue families differently than VulkanMod expects.  So this mod helps fix these incompatiblities for all versions of the VulkanMod that causes the issue on Android.  

This can cause:

Crashes on startup
Vulkan initialization failures
Rendering issues or complete incompatibility
What this mod does

This mod patches VulkanMod’s internal queue selection logic to:

Properly detect queue families on Android GPUs
Fallback to graphics queues when dedicated queues are missing
Prevent crashes caused by unsupported queue configurations
Improve compatibility with Adreno 7xx devices
Who is this for?
Android users running Minecraft with VulkanMod
Devices using Supported Adreno 7xx GPUs
Devices that support all other requirments that the VulkanMod requires per version of the game
Anyone experiencing crashes when enabling VulkanMod with their Adreno GPU's that support it

This mod does NOT include VulkanMod.

Requirments

You must install:

  • VulkanMod
  • Fabric Loader
  • (Optional) Fabric API
  • Device must support Vulkan 1.2+
  • MC Versions 1.21.11 require Dynamic Rendering extension, this mod does not help with this extension not being present

Important Notes

This is a compatibility patch, not a standalone renderer
Must be used alongside VulkanMod
Does not modify or redistribute VulkanMod
Still must Use System Vulkan Driver and supported launcher's
Supported Versions
Minecraft 1.20.1 - 1.21.11
Minecraft 26.1+ (currently)

(Separate builds are provided for each version)

Technical Details

This mod applies a Mixin patch to VulkanMod’s queue handling:

Overrides queue family detection
Adds fallback logic for present, transfer, and compute queues

Frequently Asked Questions

VulkanDreno server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is VulkanDreno compatible with fabric?

VulkanDreno officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with VulkanDreno – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if VulkanDreno consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
