INSANE: Minecraft vibrant visuals update everything you need to know about the cosmetic upgrade | Vintage Vibes

New shaders in Minecraft following Minecraft Live 2025.

Minecraft has announced the Vibrant Visuals update, which plans to visually overhaul the entire game—it's basically built-in Minecraft shaders for Bedrock with plans to bring the overhaul to Java edition later. Unlike the Spring to Life update, which was also announced at Minecraft Live, Vibrant Visuals won't add any new blocks or mobs itself, but it has been designed to bring the world as we know it further to life and will launch as part of the Chase the Skies update which adds the Happy Ghast.

The bad news is, we still don't know exactly when the release will be. We've got a window, but there's no use marking your calendars on any specific date. For now, here's what you need to know about the Vibrant Visuals update ahead of time.
