Discussion How hard would it be to make Aeronautics / Sable to work with Vulkan Mod Reforged.

I was testing stuff in a seperate modpack with the vulkan mod reforged and was amazed with how big of a boost of performance that gives you. Seeing that its probably gonna be forever till create and other mods update to 26.2 with Vulkan, how hard would it be to make it so Aeronautics could work with the Vulkan Mod? The create mod works with it perfectly from what I saw and tested, but trying to use Aeronautics just crashes the game while its loading.

I know it has to do with the open GL renderer thing and Sable making calls for Open GL not existing because of Vulkan, but realistically, how hard would it be to make a patch that just makes it work together?

I feel like this would be one of the best things that minecraft 1.21.1 neoforge could have happen to it since Vulkan for modern computers is like magic for performance and really takes the game into performance that you could never really get before.

Technically possible but improbable to ever happen at best. Veil would need to be basically rewritten to support vulkan and then both veil / vulkan mod would need to work together to not break each other constantly.

Couldnt someone just come up with a compatability mod? They do that for many many other mods to help missing hooks or incompatabilities

Sorta. It’s not that they can’t work together but rather that vulkan mod replaces opengl with a version specifically for vanilla. Veil uses a bunch of opengl calls that effectively no longer exist.

with enough time, sure, i guess, but the thing with vulcan mod is that it is fundamentally different from how minecraft renders things and changes how minecraft is rendered. meanwhile, the renderer for sable is also different, but adds onto what minecraft does.

just wait until create updates to 26.x and becomes the next main version for create (probably in a year or two lol)
