Mike Ultra Visuals is my most complete pack. Auroras over night villages, golden sunbeams cutting through forest canopies, pink haze sitting in the cherry groves, and reflections on every piece of metal you carry.
What this changes
Auroras
Green and blue light beams shift across the night sky on their own. Over a village or open water they are the best thing in the pack.
Sunrise and sunset
Long golden light low across the ground, and oceans that go almost mirror flat at sunset so the whole sky lands on the water.
Sunbeams
Volumetric light shafts break through tree canopies and gaps in the clouds. Forests at morning are where you will notice this most.
Water and reflections
Water reflects the sky properly instead of faking it, and holds those reflections while it moves.
Cherry groves
Soft pink haze hangs between the trees, so the biome reads as its own place rather than just pink blocks.
Ambient glow
Torches, lanterns and light blocks throw a warm glow onto everything near them, which is what makes villages feel lived in at night.
Point lighting
Every light source gives off its own colored light instead of everything glowing the same orange.
- Redstone torch glows red
- Soul torch and soul lantern glow cyan
- Lantern glows warm orange
- Campfire glows orange
Glowing ores
Ores give off their own light and stay visible in deep caves, so you spot a vein before your torch light reaches it.
Nether portals
Portals light the blocks around them, with lava particle lighting picked out in detail.
PBR
Metal blocks, tools and armor catch real reflections. Draw an iron sword in the sun and you can see it. This is the part that took the longest to get right.
PBR is also the heaviest part of any Vibrant Visuals pack, so it is not forced on you. It ships as a subpack, which means you can switch it on or off yourself. When you activate Mike Ultra Visuals in Global Resources, pick the version you want. Turn PBR off if your device runs hot or drops frames.
Requirements
THIS PACK IS FOR VIBRANT VISUALS ONLY
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH MB LOADER
Vibrant Visuals must be ON. This pack is built for Bedrock's Vibrant Visuals renderer. The pack will not do anything if it is off.
Where to turn it on: Settings > Video > Graphics > Vibrant Visuals
If that toggle is not there, your device or version does not support Vibrant Visuals yet.

About my other packs
I have several other shader packs on my page, and they are not recolors of this one. Each is built with its own style. The atmospherics, lighting, color grading, water and PBR are set up separately in every pack, so no two of them behave the same way in game.
This is also my heaviest pack. If you are on an older phone, either turn the PBR subpack off or pick one of my lighter packs instead. There is no point running this one at 15 frames.
If you want to explore the rest, everything I have made is here:
Installation
- Download the .mcpack file
- Open it. Minecraft imports it on its own.
- In your world go to Settings > Global Resources and activate Mike Ultra Visuals
- Pick the subpack you want. PBR on for the full look, PBR off for better performance.
- Turn on Settings > Video > Vibrant Visuals
- If the lighting still looks the same, leave the world and load it again once

FAQ
The pack is not working. Nothing changed after I installed it.
I get this comment a lot, and almost every single time the reason is the same. Vibrant Visuals is turned off.
This pack only works when Vibrant Visuals is ON. That is written clearly at the top of this page. With it off, the pack loads fine but nothing on your screen changes, because there is no renderer for it to work with. The pack is not broken.
Go to Settings > Video > Graphics > Vibrant Visuals and switch it on. If you cannot find that option at all, your device or Minecraft version does not support it yet.
Please check this before commenting that the pack does not work.
My device heats up a lot while using this pack.
That is PBR. It is the heaviest thing in the pack and it is on by default. This is also my most demanding pack overall, so it will run hotter than the rest of my profile.
Go to Global Resources, select Mike Ultra Visuals, and switch to the subpack with PBR off. You lose the reflections on metal and armor, but you keep the auroras, the sunbeams and all the lighting.
If it still runs hot after that, lower your Vibrant Visuals settings in the video menu and drop your render distance a few chunks.
Why can I not see reflections on my sword or armor?
You are on the PBR off subpack. Switch to the PBR version in Global Resources.
Can I make a YouTube video or a review on this pack?
Yes, of course. Any platform is fine. Just link this official project page in your description.
Can I put my own download link in the video?
No. Please link my official page only. No shortened links, no monetized links, and no download you host yourself.
Can I modify the pack?
Yes, but for personal use only. Change whatever you like on your own device. You just cannot upload or publicly share the modified version.
Can I use assets from this pack in my own pack?
No, not without asking. Contact me on Discord first and we can talk about it.
Can I port this pack?
No. I do not allow third party ports, sorry.
