3rd party shader support for render dragon

Prior to Render Dragon, the new graphics engine, release on Bedrock, we had the ability to have/use custom shaders. Not only did these shaders provide the capability for better quality and immersive graphics for the game, but they provided a ton of utility as well. Since Render Dragon has released, we have lost the following (and more)

- Chunk Border packs
- Light Level packs
- Hit Box and Sight line packs
- Redstone power indicator packs
- Packs to remove fog effect
-  Packs to remove enchantment glint, particle effects, and the Vignette effect down in caves

With the new capabilities the Render Dragon graphics engine has, it would be a HUGE benefit to the community to allow for 3rd party support to not only take advantage of the things listed above, but to also give the community the ability to create some really amazing looking shaders that rival what Java Edition has, and help draw more people over the the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.


Render Dragon's shaders currently come pre-compiled, so for 3rd party shaders to become possible, we would need Mojang to share their compiler or work flow. Not only would it be great for this to be made available, but for Mojang to actively develop and promote ways for 3rd party creators to make the game more customized and more beautiful for everyone.

    They probably have some agreement with Nvidia and AMD to make sure you have to buy their new graphics cards to play with their own shaders only. This makes sense, Microsoft is a corporation afterall, money is often > than user experience.

    come on, stop being greedy and release the files so the community can start creating non rtx shaders for the game, i can't buy an rtx card right now, the prices are so over the top.

    In Latin America we don't have that much money to buy a $ 2,549.27 rtx card, besides what is the problem with the shaders? make minecraft look pretty.

    Totally agree with you on that one, Making Bedrock Shaders the plaything of people that can Afford a $500+ 20 or 30 series Nvidia RTX card and hanging us lesser mortals out to dry is a really, really bad business decision...

    I believe that there should be an option to use the old rendering engine for the sake of performance. Everyone in the Bedrock PvP community hates the performance/FPS drops in versions 1.16.200+. Why should we be forced to use a rendering engine that makes our gameplay objectively worse? So that the small minority of rich players with NASA computers can use RTX? Unbelievable.

    Absolutely agree; the "upgrade" to render dragon sucked the life out of the game for me, as someone who used shaders for beautiful skies and slick lighting.

    It's like I can't fully enjoy the game anymore.

    we have 3rd party shaders in java but why not bedrock we have RTX on bedrock but not all of us have RTX graphics cards they are expensive and console as of right now does not support RTX in bedrock all we want is the code for render dragon so the community can get back to modding so we can have shaders that work that are not RTX and can run on Windows 10 edition and Console

    MCBE should have shaders because some of us do not have an RTX graphics card. Thats what makes it sad because if we try RTX on, Its all darkness. So with that said, Shaders without RenderDragon should be put back in MCBE
