Minecraft - Vibrant Visuals (Chase The Skies) Update
In this summer drop, Mojang released the Chase The Skies Update which included a graphical overhaul to the game engine.
Vibrant Visuals is suppose to give the illumination of ray tracing without it actually being ray tracing. Look at it as vanilla shaders if you will. It's also suppose to make console players who don't play on PC or have a PC feel more inclusive since they can't do real time ray tracing on this game. It's a cool feature but it's choppy and needs a lot of polishing in my opinion.
The performance stutters a lot and I feel like it should be smooth when this activates but it is expected to take a performance hit but it feels like it is more than what it should take for it being a vanilla shader that is suppose to be light on hardware.
