Will this be sunsetted due to Vulkan adoption by official Minecraft?

As stated in this article, Minecraft Java will officially be migrating to Vulkan in the summer: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/another-step-towards-vibrant-visuals-for-java-edition

Do we think VulkanMod will wind down development?

I would think so (IMS has already ported sodium to vulkan (saw it in a discord post))

how the hell do they work so fast. genuinely impressive

I'd assume there'd probably be room for improvement on the official vulkan implementation and there might still be room for a mod like this, though if Sodium is working with vulkan as the other comment says, contributing there might be a more better option.

I loved vulkanmod and I'd hope to still see the developer(s) contributing to more! but also this could be a well deserved break

Vulkanmod isn't just switching the rendering engine from opengl to vulkan. It's a complete rewrite of the rendering engine. And vulkanmod uses it's own set of optimization. So as far as I'm aware Mojang switching to vulkan is a good thing for vulkanmod. Because then the dev doesn't have to fight with the upstream changes as much. It should also make a lot of mod compatible with vulkanmod since then they have adapt to vulkan. But let's see what happens in the future.
