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

You must install:

• VulkanMod
• Fabric Loader
• (Optional) Fabric API
