Minecraft Live has been and gone again and this time there was some pretty big news. Vibrant Visuals was announced as a future major upgrade, which will bring some fancier looking graphics to Minecraft.
Obviously huge for Bedrock players, especially those on consoles, who have not had access to something like this (outside of the RTX thingy on PC). They did mention that they’re exploring bringing it to Java edition as well though, it’ll be interesting to see how this will stack up against shaderpacks made by the community, or if they’ll even add the ability for custom shaderpacks to vanilla so you no longer need mods like Iris or Optifine.
Shaders aesthetics have always been a matter of taste. I don’t suspect these shaders will stand out among the existing options for java users, except in one huge way: accessibility.
I’m most curious about the performance of these vanilla shaders on Java. Will they run better or worse then other popular shaders (like Sildur’s Vibrant Shaders) ?
