When can you turn on Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft?

Good things are worth waiting for

Minecraft players have finally received a detailed view of the Vibrant Visuals update, which will be making its way to the Bedrock edition.

The feature was the focus of the latest Minecraft Live update that took place earlier on March 22. Vibrant Visuals was one of the three major talking points from the Live event, and it’s the sole one that focuses on the graphical side of things. While the community (myself included) is eager to try out the enhanced graphics, we will have to be patient for at least the next few weeks.

Can you try out Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft?

While the eagerness of the community is completely understandable, there’s no possible way to turn on Vibrant Visuals. The enhanced graphics will be part of a future update, according to Mojang, so players will have to hold tight.

Till the update officially goes live in the latter months, there’s no other way to try it out. For now, you’ll have to stick with the old-looking gameplay aspect (yes, we are all bored of it). Do note that the Vibrant Visuals update is also planned to be released on the Java version of the game after it’s available on the Bedrock Edition.

When will Vibrant Visuals become available in Minecraft?

Mojang hasn’t handed us an exact date. Vibrant Visuals was showcased with contents of the second major update planned for 2025. It’s not part of Spring to Life content, which is a major reason why you can’t enjoy the enhanced graphics right now in the game.

I am expecting it to be released around June/July. It will be the peak of summer and a nice time for Mojang to drop the next major update, with Vibrant Visuals being a core part of it. I am expecting to get more information closer to the release date for the feature, which will have greater details about the update.
