Mojang has introduced an array of changes to the game this year, adding major overhauls such as new mobs and Vibrant Visuals, the biggest visual upgrade to the game since launch. However, this visual update was released only for the Bedrock edition, with the developers promising a future roadmap.

Now, the developers have finally provided a much-needed update on the roadmap for bringing Vibrant Visuals to the Java Edition of Minecraft. In their latest update, they have stated that their primary objective is to modernize their rendering code. Instead of rendering the game on the existing primary thread, the developers wish to introduce a second thread that is dedicated only to rendering.

The developers have further stated that in order to achieve this dual rendering system, they are revamping the central code of the game and preparing it for the extraction of the game state from the main thread, which will then be used for rendering on the dedicated render thread. Mojang has stated that the majority of the work for entities, block entities, particles, and the UI is mostly complete.

With minor changes left until Vibrant Visuals for Java Edition is officially set to arrive, Mojang is also reaching out to modders and resource or shader pack creators. They have created a dedicated support channel that would allow them to improve and refine the system to get it ready for release.

However, it is worth mentioning that the developers have not offered a timeline as to when Vibrant Visuals will arrive on the Java edition. With the majority of the work complete, gamers could expect it to be added in the coming year. Gamers will have to wait for an official teaser or announcement to see when they can get their hands on the much-awaited update.
