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.
Looks like it’s just finally just official RTX for non-Nvidia graphics cards. Especially since it’s just for Bedrock to start with. Interesting that they never referenced RTX in the presentation. I’m guessing some exclusivity period with Nvidia has expired.
No, I get that. Otherwise they’d have to mention the requirement of Nvidia RTX chip sets. It’s just effectively the same thing. Shaders and lighting effects that give 90% the same result as raytracing.
I was just remarking on how similar it was and that it was unusual that they didn’t say “similar to the effects that were available on RTX resource packs.”

It’s probably not RTX. They’re likely just putting in a more modern shader pipeline.
