VulkanDreno

Vulkan Dreno is a lightweight compatibility mod that fixes crashes affecting Supported Adreno 7xx GPUs on Android devices when using VulkanMod.

What problem does this fix?

Some Android devices (especially newer Adreno GPUs like 730, 740, A32 and others) expose Vulkan queue families differently than VulkanMod expects.  So this mod helps fix these incompatiblities for all versions of the VulkanMod that causes the issue on Android.  

This can cause:

Crashes on startup
Vulkan initialization failures
Rendering issues or complete incompatibility
What this mod does

This mod patches VulkanMod’s internal queue selection logic to:

Properly detect queue families on Android GPUs
Fallback to graphics queues when dedicated queues are missing
Prevent crashes caused by unsupported queue configurations
Improve compatibility with Adreno 7xx devices
Who is this for?
Android users running Minecraft with VulkanMod
Devices using Supported Adreno 7xx GPUs
Devices that support all other requirments that the VulkanMod requires per version of the game
Anyone experiencing crashes when enabling VulkanMod with their Adreno GPU's that support it

This mod does NOT include VulkanMod.

Requirments

You must install:

  • VulkanMod
  • Fabric Loader
  • (Optional) Fabric API
  • Device must support Vulkan 1.2+
  • MC Versions 1.21.11 require Dynamic Rendering extension, this mod does not help with this extension not being present

Important Notes

This is a compatibility patch, not a standalone renderer
Must be used alongside VulkanMod
Does not modify or redistribute VulkanMod
Still must Use System Vulkan Driver and supported launcher's
Supported Versions
Minecraft 1.20.1 - 1.21.11

Technical Details
