Vulkano is a lightweight optimization modpack to build upon yourself.
Why Vulkano?
Vulkano includes most mods that my other modpack, Thunderbolt does, except its built on the Vulkan rendering engine, which might crash from time to time, but gives astronomically better performance then Mojang's outdated OpenGL rendering engine.
The Cons?
As i stated earlier, VulkanMod, what this modpack is based on might crash more frequently than Sodium, although this has gotton leagues better since i last tried it.
VulkanMod doesnt support most GUI mods sadly, however that is the only huge downside.
Frequently Asked Questions
The downsides are too big, what should i use instead?
My other modpack, Thunderbolt
Should I enable C2ME-OpenCL?
Yes, however it requires Java 25 and a working OpenCL Module.
Should I enable Beryl?
If you want shaders.
Why does my game crash when i add a mod of my own?
Your mod is likely incompatible with VulkanMod, so once again, use my other modpack, Thunderbolt
