Vibrant Visuals will not be a part of Minecraft Java Edition’s summer game drop.
At the moment, a lot of Mojang’s energies are channeled towards Minecraft’s upcoming summer game drop. The developers have already formally announced the features that fans will get to try out. These features have also been rolled out in the form of experiments in snapshots and beta, and preview versions. Most of these features shall be available on both Bedrock and Java. Some of them, however, will be exclusive to each edition.
One of the most important features that is exclusive to Bedrock is Vibrant Visuals. This can be best described as a visual upgrade that significantly alters the dynamics of the game for the better. Since this is a very important feature, many would be disappointed about it being designed as a Bedrock exclusive.

Mojang first announced Vibrant Visuals at the first Minecraft Live organized this year. Through this event, the studio offered a glimpse of how this particular feature came across in the game. The studio representatives also described every new graphical feature in detail. These graphical features have been put together with the help of a new graphics engine referred to as the Render Dragon.
Mojang developers, while describing Vibrant Visuals, made it clear that the visual upgrade is focused only on the Bedrock Edition at the moment. A couple of days after the live event was organized, the new visual features were made accessible as a test feature in beta and a preview version.
At the same event, Mojang said that it has been making a sincere effort towards introducing Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft Java Edition. At the moment, however, their priority is to get it to Bedrock Edition. The reason behind this is the fact that one is required to alter graphical coding to ensure the Java Edition becomes compatible with the new visual upgrade.

After the arrival of Vibrant Visuals on Bedrock Edition’s beta and preview versions, Mojang rolled out a separate blog post talking about the possibility of introducing a visual upgrade for Java Edition. They said that important changes to the shader of the game have already been made. Alterations have also been made to the post-processing codes so that Vibrant Visuals can be integrated later smoothly.
Mojang also has plans to introduce its new rendering pipeline to Java Edition. This will be done to make sure important visual changes can be made effortlessly. The pipeline will ensure they work on the basis of a robust pipeline. So, while the Java Edition will not be getting Vibrant Visuals in the Minecraft summer game drop, it will get it as a part of one of the updates rolled out in the future.
