Currently, Minecraft force Vulkan drivers to be loaded when starting the game even if OpenGL is available. On some legacy devices and strange system environment, Vulkan DLLs are NOT available.
I suggest makeing this process optional rather than compulsory during the migration from OpenGL to Vulkan.
Minecraft’s output (from the terminal) and crash-report are attached below for debug purpose.
Environment
Windows 10, x86_64, on computers without Vulkan-1.DLL
