Not Enough Vulkan

Note

Development Update & Technical Notes (As of April 25th)

I apologize for the substantial delay (57+ days) in releasing updates. Since March 2026, I have been without stable internet access in Iran, which unfortunately resulted in a loss of my local development toolchains, as well as access to the latest information about minecraft updates.

I am now working on the Minecraft 26.1 updates by leveraging GitHub Action Runners for compilation. Progress is slower than ideal due to the necessary reliance on external runners.

To contact me, please use GitHub Discussions if my GitHub connection holds, otherwise, contact via Gmail.

Please feel free to fork my mods and update them yourselves!

Compiling

1. Clone the repository and navigate into the cloned repository.

   git clone https://github.com/amiralimollaei/not-enough-vulkan.git
   cd not-enough-vulkan
   

2. Navigate to the directory you've cloned this repository and launch a build with Gradle. If you are not using the Gradle wrapper, simply replace gradlew with gradle or the path to it.
   • Windows

   gradlew build

You can contribute to the translation effort on our Crowdin project page! First you'll need to register a Crowdin account if you haven't already. Translators are able to translate (submit a translation for an untranslated phrase), suggest (propose a better translation compared to an existing one), or vote (vote up or down the quality of a translation).

FAQ

A translation(s) uses an offensive phrase. What can I do?

We sincerely apologize. Translations are community submitted, and despite our best efforts, vandalism will occasionally slip through. Please open an issue explaining, and it will be removed as soon as possible.

How can I suggest a new language to add for translation?

Thank you for your interest! Please open an issue with the in-game Locale Code from the linked table. We've kept the number of languages relatively small to set a reasonable starting goal, and will add more as requests come in.
