Vanilla Atmosphere | Vibrant Visuals Shader

Vanilla Atmosphere gives Minecraft Bedrock a cinematic but recognizable look through the official Vibrant Visuals renderer.

It keeps the original texture style and focuses on the world around it: sunlight, moonlight, skies, water, shadows, and the color of local lights. Every environment is tuned to feel distinct without turning Minecraft into a different game.

Features

• Biome-aware atmosphere: temperate, warm, cold, desert, swamp, dark, Nether, and End environments receive purpose-made lighting, skies, and color grading
• Natural time of day: bright neutral daylight, warm golden sunrise and sunset, and cool moonlit nights
• Soft shadows: retains the smooth Vibrant Visuals shadow style with balanced indirect lighting
• Natural water: separate clear, warm, cold, swamp, and cave water treatments
• Waves and caustics: subtle animated water surfaces and moving underwater light in the Natural and Cinematic profiles
• Colored lights: warmer torches and lanterns, blue soul light, red redstone light, cool end rods, and distinct sea pickle and copper light colors
• Vanilla textures: does not replace the standard 16×16 block and item artwork
• Three built-in profiles: Natural, Cinematic, and Performance
• Current biome coverage: includes Minecraft Bedrock 26.40 biomes, including Sulfur Caves
• Vibrant Visuals compatible: uses the official cross-platform PBR capability

Profiles

• Natural (Balanced, Default): balanced lighting, subtle atmosphere, readable nights, gentle waves, and soft caustics
• Cinematic (Darker Nights): stronger sunsets, deeper contrast, darker nights, ACES tone mapping, larger waves, and brighter caustics
• Performance (No Waves or Caustics): restrained color treatment with the pack's custom waves and caustics disabled

The Performance profile reduces the additional water effects supplied by this pack. Frame-rate results still depend on the device, resolution, world complexity, and Minecraft's own Vibrant Visuals quality settings.

How to use

1. Import the .mcaddon file into Minecraft Bedrock.
2. Activate the Vanilla Atmosphere resource pack for your world.
3. Open the resource pack settings and choose Natural, Cinematic, or Performance.
4. Enable Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft's Video settings.
5. Put Vanilla Atmosphere above other packs that change biomes, lighting, skies, water, or color grading.

Notes

• The atmospheric effects require a device that supports Vibrant Visuals.
• The download is resource-pack-only and does not occupy a behavior-pack slot.
• On Simple or Fancy graphics, the world keeps its normal vanilla appearance.
• Resource packs that replace the same client biome or Vibrant Visuals files can conflict; the pack higher in the active resource list takes priority.
• This is not an RTX-only pack and does not require an NVIDIA RTX GPU.
• The Performance profile is a lighter visual preset, not a guaranteed FPS booster.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock 26.30 or newer
• Tested on Minecraft Bedrock 26.40
• A Vibrant Visuals-compatible device for the shader effects
• No external library or dependency required
