Minecraft has shown off a breathtaking new visual update at Minecraft Live.
Mojang Studios semi-annual game showcaseMinecraft Live 2025showed off major updates coming to its titular blocky sandbox.
However, the update is purely visual, and will not influence gameplay.
Out of the many graphical upgrades included in this update, directional lighting might be the most striking.
Shadows move with the sun throughout the day, water reflects the landscapes around it, and more.
Other improvements include volumetric lighting and volumetric fog.
Players on a realm can also play together regardless of whether or not they use Vibrant Visuals.
No firm date has been set for these tests yet.
