Maximize your Minecraft performance with the ultimate optimization modpack!

GitHub Modrinth WynnCraft

What is Valkaw?

Valkaw is a high-performance modpack forked from Sliwed Optimize. We're constantly updating it to squeeze out better frame rates and fix issues, ensuring the project keeps moving forward smoothly.

Core Features

We've focused on three main upgrades to make your game lighter and faster:

Fastest Performance HUD
Powered by Hudder, FlexHUD, and CustomHUD, this displays the stats you actually need without hogging your resources.

Smart Resource Manager
We use FerriteCore and "Put A Plug In it!" to keep your RAM usage in check. Plus, EntityCulling uses your CPU to calculate what you can see in real-time, skipping the rendering of anything hidden behind blocks.

OptiFine Features
Missing Zoom or Dynamic Lights? No problem. With WI Zoom and LambDynamicLights, you get those familiar features back, now running on the faster Sodium or VulkanMod engines.

Main Optimization Mods

Valkaw offers two different rendering paths depending on your hardware. Choose the version that best suits your system!

1. Sodium Edition (Standard)

The standard, highly compatible optimization route using the OpenGL API. Perfect for most users and supports shaders.

Click to expand the Sodium modlist
  • Sodium: The absolute best modern rendering engine for Minecraft.
  • Lithium: General-purpose optimization for game physics, AI, and block ticking.
  • FerriteCore: Significantly reduces the memory footprint of the game.
  • EntityCulling: Skips rendering hidden entities/tiles to boost performance.
  • Iris Shaders: Seamless, high-performance shader support (the best OptiFine alternative).

2. VulkanMod Edition (Maximum Raw Performance)

A wildly powerful route that completely replaces OpenGL with the Vulkan API. Incredible for squeezing out the absolute maximum raw FPS. Requires Vulkan API 1.3.

Click to expand the VulkanMod modlist
  • VulkanMod: Rewrites Minecraft's renderer to use the Vulkan API, drastically reducing CPU overhead and boosting FPS.
  • Lithium: General-purpose optimization for game physics, AI, and block ticking.
  • FerriteCore: Significantly reduces the memory footprint of the game.
  • EntityCulling: Skips rendering hidden entities/tiles to boost performance.
  • Beryl: A mod that provides shaders like Vibrant Visuals, created specifically to improve the realistic gaming experience with VulkanMod.

## 🚀 What's New & Updates
  • ⚠️ Warning:** **Do NOT update Sodium. Updating it will cause Iris and other dependent mods to crash when you start the game.**
## ⚙️ Performance & Configuration
  • PotatoRender:** Offers stable performance out of the box. If you need higher FPS, use **PotatoRender** to adjust graphics quality.
  • Note:* The default value is currently set to 0.65. You can restore or modify this setting via the in-game menu (default is 1.0).

  • Java Arguments:** Custom Java arguments are enabled for experimental use and better performance. If you encounter crashes or stability issues, feel free to remove them, but make sure to also remove Oxizidium, because this mod uses those Java args and will cause crashes without them.
## 🚀 What's New & Updates
  • VulkanMod Update:** Updated VulkanMod to 26.2_dev3 (thanks to Collateral). This build addresses several issues present in dev1 and dev2.

  • Bery**l: Omitted from this release as it is still under active development.
## Changelog:
  • Update to 26.1.2, with latest version of VulkanMod, Beryl and development of Not Enough Vulkan (pray for the dev)
  • I'm planning to minimize the number of mods in this modpack; currently, there are quite a lot of mods, and I think I added some without checking for duplicate features.
  • Optimizing the number of duplicate mod features will reduce file size and improve game performance for low-ends PCs.
## Changelog:
## Changelog:
  • Update to 26.1.2
  • A clean, minimal HUD with excellent performance
  • No Discord RPC, maybe the author of [Simple Discord RPC](https://modrinth.com/mod/simple-discord-rpc) still working with newer MC versions
  • I’ll add it later when he publishes it.
## Changelog:
  • Updated to 26.1.1, delivering excellent performance.
  • Don’t update Catalyst, as it has some issues with C2ME and can significantly decrease your FPS, causing heavy lag.
  • If you have a GitLab account, please report the issue to the author of Catalyst 🙏 thank you so much.
## Changelog:
  • Update to 26.1; version 26.1.1 will be updated later.
  • I used Workflow to automatically publish to Modrinth, so now you can check out the Sodium or Vulkan edition.
  • This version gives me around 400–500 FPS during normal gameplay, though it may drop lower when there are a lot of particles or entities on screen.

## News:
  • I WAS FORGOT THIS VERSION
  • Now update it :> next day is 26.1 (dont ask me where is 26.1.1 or else)
  • Very good performance, around 400-500 FPS while playing survival
## News:
  • Created by order of my friends.
  • Decent performance, not really good same FPS with Sodium (or I was skill issue)
## News:
  • Replace config file of [Simple Discord RPC](https://modrinth.com/mod/simple-discord-rpc).
  • Reworked with 1.21.4, massive performance with VulkanMod.
  • Sodium version will release tomorrow.
  • Forgot to upload Sodium version for 1.21.11, will be release later.
# News:
  • Hello again, after Lunar New Year (Tet Nguyen Dan in Vietnam), I'm back with my lovely project Valkaw Client.
  • Why v2.0? Because we will go to 1.21.11 and 26.1 and i think we need something "new".
# Changelog
## Updates:
  • University is so tough :< my mind feels so confused as I keep studying for exams.
  • There wasn’t much time to work on the modpack, and now there’s even less. During my spare time, I experimented with creating this Vulkan build.
  • In terms of performance, this build is really good. The FPS is very high (probably because there are fewer mods). The downside is that only mods not using OpenGL can be added for optimization :/ but overall, performance is excellent and the number of mods is quite small. In general, it’s very suitable for PCs with low-spec AMD GPUs that still want high FPS.
  • For anyone who wants to make their own Vulkan build: add -Dorg.lwjgl.system.stackSize=256 to the JVM Args as shown in the picture, and it will run instead of crashing. \
![Add -Dorg.lwjgl.system.stackSize=256 to the JVM Args](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/f6bdfa69ec8dc335432de019a3fe2a5982228185.png)
## Update
  • Studying at university is tough, so I must learn to control my time.
  • The time for developing the modpack has to be reduced, but I will make sure to keep it continuously updated!
  • This modpack is based on the latest NeoForge, but some of my favorite mods like C2ME, TheatenGL, and Krypton FNP broke and got removed. Hopefully, they’ll update soon to work better with the newest NeoForge.
## Changelog
  • Move to NeoForge 1.21.10, good performance by the number of mods in this modpack is smaller than in Fabric.
  • The HUD is super minimal, with just a few stats while playing. If you want more, go grab and install them yourself — I’m keeping it simple.
## Changelog:
  • Update to 1.21.10.
  • Very good performance, around 400-500 FPS (Nitro V 15 R5 6600H + 3050 6GB).
  • Lighter than 1.21.9 v1.9.1 (idk why but its only ~33KiB)
## Changelog:
  • Added some mods, re-edit something (etc: HUD, Window Title,...).
  • Add ForceGL to ensure the game runs on the latest version of OpenGL (4.0).
  • WIP 1.21.10
## Changelog:
  • The update to 1.21.9 is very minimal and lighter compared to other versions.
  • NeoForge is expected to come out tonight, depending on the time I have for this modpack.
## Changelog:
  • Beta version, very good performance.
  • The main reason why I'm only updating to 1.21.8 now: waiting for the authors of the mods I need to update (like [ThreatenGL](https://modrinth.com/mod/threatengl) for example)

  • Decrease file size (mrpack and zip file).
## Changelog:
  • Forgot to editing Simple RPC!!!!
## News:
  • Update for NeoForge version.
  • Good performance, but don't have "Nvidium" so those who use the GTX 16xx series or higher will not have the highest FPS they can.
  • Around 120-150 on a server (sometimes I can get 3xx) while playing on my PC (GTX 550 Ti + 3-4150 + 16GB RAM DDR3 8x2).
## Changelog:
  • Updated to latest version, less mods included in this modpack.
  • EXTREMELY GOOD PERFORMANCE, I've seen FPS in the 3xx-4xx range while roaming around the world.

## Changelog:
  • Update all mods to latest version
  • Great performance, minimal HUD (very basic information)
  • Forgot upload to Github, lmao
## News:
  • Long time to see!!!
  • Since it's my senior year of high school, I'm quite busy.
  • We didn't learn much before we had to take midterms, so the modpack was abandoned for quite a while...
  • But I've gone back, updated and edited for v1.7. With a few mods added :>
## Changelog:

## News:
  • Update NeoForge to 1.21.1.
  • No HUD mod (like CustomHUD), but u can use some built-in HUD like FPS(Extended), Coords, Memory,... in Sodium Extra options.
