How to Turn On Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft

The Minecraft Bedrock Preview 1.21.80.25 brought about Vibrant Visuals to the game. Toggling it on enhances the quality of your vanilla Minecraft graphics immensely. Follow the steps below to turn it on:

• Open the Minecraft Launcher and select the Bedrock tab on the left-hand side.
• Select the Latest Preview option and click on the Play button.
• Once your game launches on the screen, click on the Play Preview button. Now, you can create a new World or edit your pre-existing world to apply new changes.
• When you reach the world creation page, select the Experiments tab on the left and toggle the Vibrant Visuals option under Graphics.
• Click on the Turn on Experiments anyway button, and finally click on the Play button.
• This will open up your newly created world, and you might notice the enhanced graphics on your screen.
• If the graphics appear to be the same as before, then don’t worry. Open the Settings from the Pause menu and go to the Videos tab.
• Scroll down and locate the Graphics Mode. Under this tab, toggle the Fancy or Simple options to force enable it.

How Does Minecraft Vibrant Visuals Look?

While the clue is in the name, Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft look absolutely amazing. Mojang’s combination of improvements really amplifies the blocky world. The fantastic light and shadow play, better water reflections, fancier clouds, fog, mountains, and landscapes will all be top-notch, just like you would see when a Java player turns on their shaders.

All of these changes will surely make your blocky Bedrock world feel more immersive and alive than ever. Furthermore, there is huge detailing for the Minecraft mobs, making them look more menacing than before. The reddish glow in the spider’s eyes is one such instance. It almost feels like looking at Minecraft from an entirely new perspective.

Mojang confirms that Vibrant Visuals is “backwards compatible“, meaning it will run locally on your system. You can even play with those players on the same server who haven’t turned this on yet. This feature will not alter the vanilla gameplay, and all sorts of mob spawning and redstone mechanics will work as intended.

And that’s how you turn on Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft. So, what are your thoughts on this visual upgrade to the Bedrock Edition? Let us know in the comments below!
