Hey all, I’ve been working on a mod called Sulkan. It’s a Vulkan based shader loader with a built in shader. It supports shader packs built for Sulkan. Please check it out!

https://modrinth.com/mod/sulkan

The code base is currently privated in the Sulkan organization so only developers in it can view. (DM me if you are interested in joining the project) Will be open sourced to the public day 0 of 26.2 release!

lofty swallow how does this differ from vulkanmod + beryl?

Beryl is very basic. Sulkan has full shader support. It’s also built on top of vulkanmod rather than the Vulkan pipeline from 26.2

#

I don’t think I’ve seen one for 26.2+ using the vanilla Vulkan.

#

The main thing it’s lacking is an optimization layer like sodium. But this is something I’m trying to improve.

@dense basalt why does your mod have license differences?

#

on github it's LGPL, on Modrinth it's ARR

#

what's the logistics of that
