Honestly, this is just incredible. Imagine if Mojang had changed their rendering engine. I'm afraid they would need to redo the whole game including the mod loaders changing their API. But so far, this is a giant leap for the modding community. My Ryzen 5 2600 can finally have a bit of rest while playing Minecraft and rather let my GTX 1650 struggle.

Considering Vulkan Renderer is still in alpha and how hard is it to write a Vulkan program (let alone rewrite existing OpenGL), I can only say I'm impressed!
Yeah. OptiFine is no longer your #1 option to optimize your game anymore. The Sodium became a new OptiFine. The only thing I don't like is that the OpenGL is being used as it's single-threaded and pretty outdated. Imagine if Vulkan's graphics API was baked into the game by Mojang. Of course, the compatibility would be an issue for some older systems, but the CPU would be less stressed out.
I haven't read the code of vulkan mod but vulkan can only get you so far in terms of performance if you don't use it for performance. It is also easy to mess up (accidentally setting a buffer to host visible, for example) which can easily lead to performance losses. Sodium also optimises other parts of the game, not necessarily the graphics. The two mods have a somewhat different purpose and vulkan mod (assuming the use of vulkan is correct) would absolutely provide a far greater performance increase.
The vulkan renderer has fewer glitches with transparent textures and renders the shading on dirt paths correctly. In my case (integrated amd graphics, linux/wayland) sodium still gets better performance (even though a lot of people report the vulkan renderer beats sodium in their case), but vulkan is still leaps and bounds better than vanilla. I use the Vulkan renderer because the performance is good enough and it doesn't have the glitches sodium does.
Not going to lie every new version i keep praying mojang will add LOD to Java and give each version Vulkan renderer, That would make porting mods to that new version absolutely hellish, But i think it would be worth it for the sake of performance.
Great choice in music~ It brought me memories from PC Building Sim XD I'll have to try Vulkan and compare it to Sodium in my gear.... Thanks for the video!
In my experience, sodium has a lot of tiny lag spikes but vulkan is really smooth. Fps is slightly lower than sodium, but i don't need 500fps so i'm going with vulkan.
This. I have other performance mods aside from sodium but it sometimes stutters despite the high fps count... but with vulkan is all the opposite, it's so smooth and plays more fluently... Sad that it isn't compatible with some mods and crashes from time to time.
I use Vulkan Zink on PojavLauncher and its crazy how fast mc 1.20.1 lauch even tho im using a device that should not be able to support versions above 1.12.2 im getting 32fps but its still good
All these fps doesn't matter if the monitor doesn't support that much refresh rate. And it causes screen tearing which looks ugly(turn on v-sync for once and you will feel the difference). Even though I run minecraft with a lot of optimization mods(35), I always have v-sync enabled
I tested vulkan with few optimisaion mod while i was getting 90 fps in sodium i got 500 in vulkan with exact same settings ( in low end laptop ) (mods i used were modern fix with few cosmetics mod)
the avarages are cleary wrong, you didn't reset the benchmark before recording, sodium stayed above 700 fps most of the time and somehow got an avarage of 300
This video took me like 9 hours to finish. The recording was easy, but the editing was hard. At first, I was editing on Sony Vegas, but it crashed for no reason. The sad part is that I didn't save my work, and I had to start again. So, I switched programs and went with Adobe Premiere Pro, but it took me longer to edit because I'm not used to the software. In the end, I completed this video. If it wasn't the weekend, I don't think I would have finished this video.
I have a question, So I run my Minecraft on most of the default settings but configured it in a way where I get good FPS and still can maintain good settings (Running 16-20 chunks rendering and simulation distance, Fancy graphics and everything on like that but I have smooth lighting at the max, Which I usually have at minimum) I was wondering why You are getting that high FPS with Sodium, I have it too; I also compared all the mods just last week looking at how they preform and Your FPS for Sodium stood out for me because I get around 700 at the max and 350-600 looking anywhere else. I have an RTX 3070ti, 32GB of some Corsair or something like that ram and an I9 11 gen I think, I also have my ram allocated high like 8 GB allocated to Minecraft, I can change it but my FPS isn’t high like yours. If I run shaders I use most of the default settings for it but change the rendering to FXAA2 and use my shadow quality at 1.5, I also have another one changed but I don’t have my PC at the moment but I think it’s something with the sharpness of the blocks. I changed that because I tried using a few shaders and it was kind of Blurry when I was looking around and everything was a bit soft or fuzzy looking so I changed it. I run Bliss or Chocapic or some other ones like seus but I just want an FPS over 150 or 200 because I can play on Hypixel and be in a lobby with shaders and be sitting at a comfortable 120-150 fps, with 30-50 players and somehow my FPS is at 125 or less in single player. Do you know how to fix that or anything that can prevent or do anything about it? I can list my settings once I get back to my PC and check everything. I use Sodium most of the time because I like some options but I like Optifine too, More settings and a few cool features. Vulkan is nice because I tried running 32ish chunks or around there and most of my settings were maxed and still got about 90 fps on average, I noticed a few lag spikes though they were occurring a bit often.
I think 700-300 is fine for 16-20 chunks. In the video, I was using the default, I think it was 12, so that could be it. Or maybe.... I guess you can try updating your graphics card drivers or allocating less RAM to Minecraft cuz In my test video, I gave Minecraft only 4GB. You could also try closing some background apps, but I don't think that's the problem because you said you have 32GB of RAM, so that's a maybe. Or you could check your CPU and GPU temperatures; maybe your CPU needs new paste, which could impact performance. Also, keep in mind that the FPS test in my video was done at 1080p resolution. If you're playing at a higher resolution, that could be impacting your FPS too. Hope this helps!
@@Aboody thank you, my drivers are up to date on my 3070 ti, I allocated about 4.1 GB to Minecraft, it runs 1080P all the time and the temps hover around 55-60c and everything seems to be fine.

@@tjonesy2283 My GPU isn't even a 3060, but I play with moderately heavy shaders and Vivecraft Mod and still maintain enough FPS where my refresh rate prevents me from getting more, but optimization is very important
for me on the latest version of sodium and vulkanmod as of july 2023, vulkan mod was better. i could play with 32 chunk render distance at 1440p and consistently get 165fps, which is my monitor hz. sodium could only hit around 115-119 at 32 chunk render distance. this is on an amd 7900x w/ an nvidia rtx 3070 on linux. i did have vsync on
Optifine is not optimal in the first place. If you want performance, you have to look into Sodium, Starlight, Nvidium, C2ME, Enhanced Block Entities, ModernFix, LazyDFU.
Finding the optimal settings for Optifine in my experience is a heckish trial and error experience that I would rather not go through the effort for alas. I am sure it can get there. I just don’t have the patience personally.
No, I don't think so because Sodium, it's his job to optimize the OpenGL rendering, and Vulkan is not the same as OpenGL, so no. But perhaps in the future, we'll see this happen.
If you want to use Sodium without any hassle, make sure you've got the most up-to-date version of Fabric Loader and Fabric API set up first. Once that's done, it's as easy as pie - just drop the mod right into your mods folder. No need to worry about any extra downloads or mods, Sodium's got you covered!🐧🐧
I recommend to make a video explain how to play sodium starts with the client and end to the lunch or just till me wich client should i use to give me the best Performance cuz i watched Several videos and all of them make the game dorps to 10 to 17 Fps without the sodium i get round solid 80 to 90Fps 🦆

It’s simply because in 1.19.4 mojang actually improved the game’s perforemance while optifine was stuck using the slow forge
@@zakariya2011_ Optifine doesn't require or use forge. Forge can load it but that's different.
Vulkan power usage is significanly lower than optifine while delivering the same performance thats impressive
nah it isnt vulkan always better
