The Minecraft Live 2025 livestream teased fans with a new feature called Vibrant Visuals.

What is the Vibrant Visuals Update in Minecraft
The Vibrant Visuals update in Minecraft aims to bring a set of graphical enhancements to the game. Some major additions include the following:
- Dynamic Lighting: Lighting will now behave more realistically with the world.
- Improved Shadows: Shadows will be more accurate and defined, mapping correctly to the world grid.
- Enhanced Reflections: Water surfaces and reflective objects will have more realistic reflections.
- Volumetric Fog: The addition of volumetric fog will enhance atmospheric depth, allowing environments like caves to be more eerie and forests to be more mystical, with sunlight filtering through the dense canopy.
Players who love the classic aesthetic of Minecraft can choose to disable this visual upgrade. Furthermore, those with less powerful systems or devices might want to lower their graphics settings if they want to enable this feature.
