Minecraft Live 2025 confirms long-awaited visuals upgrade
Vibrant Visuals are on their way!
Minecraft Live has announced various new updates to the game, including a long-awaited visuals upgrade.
The upgrade, titled Vibrant Visuals, will be the first step in overhauling the game's graphics, something fans have been asking about for years.
Vibrant Visuals will first arrive in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in the coming months on "compatible devices" and, while it'll have no impact on actual gameplay, it'll certainly change the experience of the game as a whole.
Also announced was the new Drop, which is coming on 25th March. The Spring to Life Drop will include new variants of older mobs, and will add various new sounds to blocks, including sounds for wind and scattering sand.
Other announcements included The Ghastling, which introduces a new way for mobs to behave in the game, the Happy Ghast, the newest mount coming to the game, and a demonstration of the Locator Bar, which will help to locate other players.
Meanwhile, attendees were also treated to a new look at the Minecraft movie, which is coming our way on 4th April.
