This is a Minecraft mod that introduces a brand new Vulkan based voxel rendering engine to Minecraft in order to both replace the default OpenGL renderer and bring performance improvements and new features.
The Vulkan API allows for modern device capabilities that are not possible, or not widely supported, on the default OpenGL renderer.
Features
Some of the main VulkanMod's features are:
Reduced CPU and GPU Overhead
Terrain rendering optimizations, ranging from optimized draw loop to section culling
