SOL by tan.go

SOL is a highly experimental native Vulkan rendering engine for Minecraft Java Edition. It replaces Minecraft’s standard world-rendering pipeline with a native rendering engine written in C.

It targets to optimize performance while expanding the possibilities of graphics and shaders in Minecraft. By default SOL comes with the Legacy shaders, while more advanced versions come with NEO shadings (Available on Patreon)

Please remember: SOL is experimental. You may encounter rendering issues, performance inconsistencies, or other bugs depending on your system. If you encounter a problem, please report it on our support server.
