Vibrant Visuals: Game freezes for 2–3 seconds when changing hotbar items

When Vibrant Visuals is enabled, the game frequently freezes for approximately 2–3 seconds while interacting with the inventory or hotbar.

The freeze is most commonly triggered by:

• Selecting a different hotbar item.

• Selecting an empty inventory slot.

• Consuming or placing the last item in a stack, causing the slot to become empty.

During the freeze:

• The game world continues running normally.

• Hostile mobs continue moving and attacking.

• Other players connected to the same world are not affected.

• Only the local client appears to stop responding temporarily.

After the freeze ends, gameplay resumes normally until another inventory interaction triggers the issue again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Vibrant Visuals.

2. Open or create any world (single-player or multiplayer).

3. Repeatedly switch between hotbar items.

4. Alternatively, place or consume the last item in a stack until the slot becomes empty.

5. Observe intermittent 2–3 second freezes.

Additional Information

The issue has been present since the first use of the device.

The following do not affect the problem:

• Graphics quality settings.

• Battery Saver mode.

• High Performance/Game Mode.

• Touch controls or a USB-C controller (tested with a GameSir X2).

• Newly created worlds or worlds imported from another device.

• Offline or multiplayer gameplay.

The issue completely disappears when switching from Vibrant Visuals back to Sophisticated Visuals, using the same worlds and the same device.

This strongly suggests the problem is related to the Vibrant Visuals rendering path rather than world data or device performance.
