Minecraft is bringing fresh changes to Bedrock, aimed at creators and players. Deferred rendering graphics are set to enhance the game on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and phones. This feature allows better visual effects, like shadows, fog, and falling leaves, within Minecraft’s default game.
Currently, deferred rendering is in experimental gameplay. Users must make a copy of their world to try it. This is part of many experiments, including custom biomes, beta APIs, and creator cameras. Players show keen interest, and Poggy, a Minecraft Bedrock content creator, has been exploring this since technical previews.
When activated, deferred rendering significantly boosts visual quality. However, it won’t be available in the base game. Instead, creators can enable it with texture or resource packs. PC users can access free deferred rendering packs, but console players may need to buy them from the marketplace.
Despite the cost, many players are happy to invest in these upgrades. Some packs, priced at $10, are already successful. New resource packs are expected soon, enabling deferred rendering across all devices. This signals the arrival of a long-awaited feature, once envisioned as a single graphics pack, now realized through several options.
These changes are part of a broader update, which includes improved biomes and added features for Bedrock players. Notably, Bedrock will finally include a pause feature. This allows the game to pause completely, which is a small yet significant addition. Players can even explore a frame-by-frame mode, adding a unique twist to gameplay.
As Minecraft continues to evolve, these updates promise new ways to experience and enjoy the game. Players and creators alike have much to look forward to, with these innovations enhancing the beloved blocky world.
