Use Shaders in Minecraft Bedrock

Minecraft is not just a game, it’s a world of creativity. And in India, Minecraft has become a favourite among players of all ages. But let’s be honest — the graphics of Minecraft are very basic. That’s where Shaders come in!

Shaders can make Minecraft look more realistic, smoother, and colourful — almost like a different game altogether. In this blog, we’ll explain how to use shaders in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, step by step. No technical terms, no confusion — just a simple guide for Indian gamers.

What Are Shaders in Minecraft?

In simple words, Shaders are tools or files that improve how your game looks. They add realistic lighting, better shadows, clearer water, and more vibrant colours.

For example:

  • The sun will shine like real sunlight
  • Shadows will move with the sun
  • Water will look clean and transparent

Can You Use Shaders in Minecraft Bedrock?

Yes, but with a small twist! In the past, only Java Edition had support for Shaders. 

But now, Minecraft Bedrock Edition (used on mobile, Xbox, Windows 10, etc.) is also getting shaders through a new feature called “Vibrant Visuals”.

You don’t need high-end PC or RTX graphics now. But… this feature is currently available in the Minecraft Preview Version. 

Steps to Use Shaders in Minecraft Bedrock (April 2025 Guide)

1. Download Minecraft Preview

To use the new shader-like features:

  • Go to Google Play Store (Android) or Microsoft Store (Windows)
  • Search for Minecraft Preview
  • Download and install it (It’s free if you already own Minecraft)

2. Enable Vibrant Visuals in Settings

This is Minecraft’s new graphics setting that acts like shaders.

  • Open Minecraft Preview
  • Tap on “Create New World”
  • Scroll down to “Experiments”
  • Turn ON “Vibrant Visuals”
  • Create the world and enter it

Now your world will look much better — lighting, shadows, and effects will improve.

3. Adjust Graphics for Best Performance

Inside the game:

  • Go to Settings > Video
  • You’ll see new options like:
    • Volumetric Fog
    • Bloom
    • Shadow Quality
    • Reflection Quality
  • You can turn these ON or OFF based on your device
