Vibrant Visuals reflection bug and severe performance issues.

https://youtu.be/kMpWAWsVDws
📋 Description:
After enabling the Vibrant Visuals setting in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, I encountered a major rendering issue: the entire world appears to reflect light unnaturally, as if every surface is a mirror. This includes blocks like dirt, wood, and even air, which should not have reflective properties.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

  2. Enable Vibrant Visuals in the graphics settings.

  3. Load any world (new or existing).

  4. Observe the excessive global reflections and FPS drops.

Expected result:
Only reflective materials (e.g. water, glass) should show reflections. The game should run smoothly without major performance degradation.

Actual result:
All surfaces reflect light excessively, creating a visually broken experience. Performance drops significantly, with unstable frame rates and high GPU usage.

Additional notes:
Disabling Vibrant Visuals temporarily resolves the issue. No other shaders or RTX features are active. This bug affects both visual fidelity and gameplay performance.
