I’m using the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock Preview and would like to report a possible compatibility issue with the new “Visuals Vibrant” graphics setting.
My system uses an NVIDIA GTX 1050, which supports:
DirectX 12 (feature level 12_1)
Confirmed via
dxdiag
According to the official Mojang documentation and announcements (including Minecraft Live), the only requirement for enabling Visuals Vibrant is having DirectX 12 support.
However, the effect remains unavailable on my system, despite meeting this requirement.
Your screenshot shows that the game is running on your integrated graphics card, not your dedicated graphics card. You will need to change which graphics card the game uses. To do so:
Close Minecraft Preview
Launch the Settings app
Browse to System > Display > (scroll down) > Graphics
Click the Minecraft Preview app in the list and press Options
Choose "High performance" and press "Save"
If the Minecraft Preview app doesn't appear in the list, you will need to add it yourself.
