VulkanMod

This is a fabric mod that introduces a brand new Vulkan based voxel rendering engine to Minecraft java in order to both replace the default OpenGL renderer and bring performance improvements.

Why?

• Highly experimental project that overhauls and modernizes the internal renderer for Minecraft.
  
• Updates the renderer from OpenGL 3.2 to Vulkan 1.2.
  
• Provides a potential reference for a future-proof Vulkan codebase for Minecraft Java.
  
• Utilizes the VulkanAPI to allow for capabilities not always possible with OpenGL.
  
• Including reduced CPU Overhead and use of newer, modern hardware capabilities.
