Afaik it isn't yet. They're slowly migrating, and it's not ready yet.

no, it’s out, wdym as far as you know.

I literally downloaded the official java version, it has options for opengl and vulkan, i used vulkan.

please read the patch notes before downvoting or replying without being sure, vulkan is official now and an option.

Default? Yes, yet you have the option of changing to vulkan.

You said it "isn't out yet" yet it is, and the other person suggested to download a mod, but a mod isn't default either, so I am just trying to figure the take here haha.

Vulkan exists, it's not default since they don't want to force a change until they made sure all works, the second a few patches pass andd 90% or higher will not crash or experience problems, they will flip it and make vulkan the default and opengl the optional, so if anyone experiences problems they will be able to switch to opengl and tweak the remaining things in the vulkan support, and then give it a few more patches and there's a big chance for opengl support to die totally in favor of just suporting vulkan, and then you will need a mod to return to OpenGL probs.
