🌍 Vanilla Friendly 100% client-side. Play on any server (Hypixel, 2b2t, SMPs) safely without risking bans or rejections.

--- ## 📦 Core Optimization Mods Valkaw offers two different rendering paths depending on your hardware and preferences. Choose the version that best suits your system! ### 1. Sodium Edition The standard, highly compatible optimization route using the OpenGL API. Perfect for most users and supports shaders.

• 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, require Vulkan API 1.3.
