📋 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:
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Enable Vibrant Visuals in the graphics settings.
Load any world (new or existing).
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.
