Vanadium Beta Release Notes (v0.1.0-beta)

Release Date: February 22, 2026

Highlights

  • Added support for loading precompiled .mcshader packs from <gameDir>/shaderpacks/.
  • Introduced strict metadata.json validation for safer and more predictable pack loading.
  • Added SPIR-V module validation for stage and entrypoint consistency.
  • Implemented graphics and compute pipeline activation flow for supported packs.
  • Added hot reload support via file watching and /vanadium reload.
  • Added in-game shader controls in Options -> Video Settings -> Vanadium Shaders.

Improvements

  • Improved Vulkan backend safety checks with compatibility guard handling.
  • Improved logging clarity for pack load, activation, and reload operations.
  • Improved command workflow for listing, status checks, and pack activation.

Commands

  • /vanadium list
  • /vanadium status
  • /vanadium activate <pack_id>
  • /vanadium reload

Known Limitations

  • VulkanMod is required.
  • Shader packs must be precompiled SPIR-V (.spv).
  • Strict metadata validation rejects incomplete or nonconformant packs.

Upgrade Notes

  • Ensure existing packs include complete and valid metadata.json.
  • Re-test pack activation after upgrading to confirm pipeline compatibility.

Beta Release Notes (v0.1.0-beta)

Added

  • .mcshader pack discovery and loading from <gameDir>/shaderpacks/
  • Metadata validation using metadata.json
  • SPIR-V verification for shader stage and entrypoint consistency
  • Graphics/compute pipeline initialization for supported packs
  • Hot reload support via file watching and /vanadium reload
  • In-game shader configuration screen under video settings

Improved

  • Safer Vulkan backend handling with compatibility guard checks
  • Structured logging for pack load/activate/reload diagnostics
  • Clearer command flow for listing, status checks, and activation

Known Limitations

  • Requires VulkanMod; fallback rendering behavior depends on backend state
  • Shader packs must be precompiled to SPIR-V (.spv)
  • Strict metadata validation may reject incomplete or nonconformant packs

Upgrade Notes

  • Existing shader packs should include complete metadata.json fields
  • Re-test pack activation after updates to ensure pipeline compatibility
