Is Minecraft Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft yet?

Mojang Studios recently revealed a massive project called Vibrant Visuals for Minecraft. It is a graphical project that will drastically enhance the game's look and feel. The visual overhaul was discussed by Jens Bergensten, CEO of Mojang Studios, who indicated that it was one of the most important upgrades for the title.

Currently, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade has been released on Minecraft Bedrock beta and preview versions only. Players will need to download the latest beta and preview versions on select Bedrock Edition devices like Android, iOS, and Windows to enjoy Vibrant Visuals. This feature will soon be released to every Bedrock-compatible device.

Here are more details about when Vibrant Visuals will officially release in Bedrock and Java, and how to test it in Bedrock beta and preview versions.

The Vibrant Visuals upgrade was revealed in the first Minecraft Live of 2025, with the developers explaining how they worked on the project for several months. During the presentation, it was clear that this upgrade was directed towards Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

While explaining Vibrant Visuals at the Minecraft Live event, Jens Bergensten stated that this feature would be coming soon to Bedrock Edition:

"The first version [of Vibrant Visuals] will be available on compatible Bedrock [Edition] devices in the coming months," said Jens Bergensten.

This means players will have to wait during the summer for Vibrant Visuals to officially release on Bedrock Edition. However, they can test the experimental feature now in Bedrock Edition beta and preview versions.

After Minecraft Live, Mojang released a detailed blog post about Vibrant Visuals. In it, the company stated that the graphical enhancement will first be released on select devices while the developers work to make it compatible with every Bedrock Edition device.

In Minecraft Bedrock beta and preview 1.21.80.25 patch notes, Mojang explained which Bedrock-compatible devices currently support Vibrant Visuals. These are the devices that currently support the visual upgrade:

Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher
iOS: A12 or M1 or higher
PC: Running Minecraft on DX12

Of course, the developers will continue to make Vibrant Visuals compatible with more devices in the future.
