Description from the author on Modrinth

"A perfomance Modpack with Vulkan Mod and libraries that work with Android devices in mind"

What is Vulkan Droid?

This modpack was put together for Android users that want to use OR try the Vulkan Mod with the proper libraries it needs to actually work.  Make sure to pay attention the the tips and check the tips/important info section.  Vulkan Mod is still being worked on as well, and it might be more performant on some devices but not on others as it was originally made for PC in mind.

Help it's not working!

You need to enable Use system Vulkan driver in the launcher you choose for this Modpack to work.  You can watch the video guide as well to learn how to set this up properly. Some Adreno GPU devices can utilize Turnip drivers but they aren't as performant.

Tips/Important Info

  • You can now check the Vulkan Checker on Google Play to see if your device supports specific versions of the mod!
  • Vulkan 1.2+ supports devices (has been known to work with 1.0+ but not guaranteed).
  • Dynamic Rendering is required for 1.21.11 +
  • Enable Use system Vulkan driver, this will automatically allow this mod to work.
  • Shaders DO NOT work currently.
  • Other mods Check This may not work as there's a list of incomatible mods.
  • Tinkering with video settings CAN still help with more FPS
  • No libraries are needed for 1.21.11+ anymore
  • Libraries for older versions below 1.21.10 can be found here - curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/vulkanmod-andr…
  • 1.21.11 + requires dynamic rendering alongside other requirments, if your device does not have this extension then the mod won't work.

How to install Vulkan Droid

  1. This modpack runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21 – 26.x. The launcher you install it with sets that up for you.

  2. Download the .mrpack file from Modrinth.

  3. Open it with a launcher that reads .mrpack files, such as the Modrinth App or Prism Launcher: it makes a new instance with every mod and setting of the pack.

  4. Give the instance enough memory: most modpacks want 4 to 8 GB.

  5. To play it with friends on a server, use the server files of the modpack if its page offers them; otherwise install the same mods on the server.
