This graphics option is now available on multiple devices including Xbox Series X|S and upgrades lighting, effects, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The catch is it&#8217;s still very much in the testing stages, so this graphical experience is expected to change and improve over time.<\/p>\n<p>What this means right now is you&#8217;ll need to start a world from scratch, manually activate this option in the &#8220;experimental&#8221; section (it&#8217;s a toggle setting) and then activate it again (via a toggle option) once you&#8217;ve created a world and are in-game. It also means you can&#8217;t unlock achievements while playing with this feature.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/feedback.minecraft.net\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/35256043330189-Minecraft-Bedrock-Edition-1-21-70-Spring-to-Life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full patch notes about Vibrant Visuals<\/a>, with a more official rollout to follow in the future:<\/p>\n<p>Vibrant Visuals<\/p>\n<p>The features, lighting, effects, and assets are still in development, so expect things to change and improve over time as we continue to iterate.<\/p>\n<p>Supported devices include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Android, iOS, and PC.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher<\/li>\n<li>iOS: A12 or M1 or higher<\/li>\n<li>PC: Running Minecraft on DX12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our team is hard at work testing Vibrant Visuals on even more Minecraft: Bedrock Edition devices, and we hope to be able to update this list of supported devices in the future.<\/p>\n<p>To use Vibrant Visuals in a World, you must enable the &#8220;Vibrant Visuals&#8221; toggle in the Experimental tab in the Create New World or Edit World screens. This will expose Vibrant Visuals as an option in the in-game Video settings Graphics Mode dropdown, which can then be selected alongside the other existing rendering modes.<\/p>\n<p>Presets for choosing between &#8220;Favor Visuals&#8221; and &#8220;Favor Performance&#8221; are available in the Video Settings. Specific feature and visual settings can also be adjusted by expanding &#8220;Vibrant Visuals Options&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Splitscreen is not supported with Vibrant Visuals and the game will switch to Fancy or Simple rendering if multiple players are joined locally.<\/p>\n<p>Marketplace Add-Ons, Skins, and Persona items will work with Vibrant Visuals, however, Worlds and Texture Packs are not compatible with the new mode at this time.<\/p>\n<p>We tried out Vibrant Visuals on Xbox Series X here on Pure Xbox and it looks great in-game, but on the default settings, the frame rate did have some moments.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this is still in the early testing stages so don&#8217;t get too worried if you do encounter any bugs or other problems &#8211; as the experience is expected to be improved over time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Minecraft VIbrant Visuals\" href=\"https:\/\/images.purexbox.com\/d1dbac68734aa\/minecraft-vibrant-visuals.large.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1746814449_891_minecraft-vibrant-visuals.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Minecraft VIbrant Visuals\"\/><\/a>Image: Pure Xbox<\/p>\n<p>So, will you be giving Vibrant Visuals a go?
