Sodium is fast... this is faster.

Why Vulkan?
Most optimization packs tune Minecraft's OpenGL renderer. Vulkan Updated replaces it entirely, cutting CPU overhead and boosting frame rates on hardware where drivers hold OpenGL back (older AMD, Intel iGPUs, Nvidia).
If your GPU is the bottleneck, Vulkan makes a noticeable difference.
Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | Vulkan 1.2 (GTX 900+, RX 400+, Intel Arc) | Vulkan 1.4 (GTX 1060+, RX 5000+, Arc A-series) |
| OS | Windows 10+ / Linux (kernel 5.11+) | Windows 11 / Linux (kernel 7.1, Wayland) |
| RAM | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Storage | HDD | NVMe SSD |
Check support with
vulkaninfo(Linux) or GPU-Z (Windows). On Linux, Wayland outperforms X11. On Windows, keep GPU drivers up to date.
