Add a Graphics Setting to Make Bedrock Edition Look Like the Trailers

We’ve all seen how incredible Minecraft Bedrock looks in its official trailers—cinematic lighting, dynamic shadows, glowing sunsets, and a soft atmospheric vibe that makes everything feel alive. But when we actually play the game, there’s no setting that captures that same trailer-level experience.

I know Vibrant Visuals is being rolled out soon, and yes, it’s a step up. The colors are richer, the lighting feels warmer, and things definitely look better than before. But it still doesn’t come close to the look and feel of the trailers. There’s no ambient fog, no real-time shadows, no bloom, and the lighting still feels flat in comparison.

That’s why I’m suggesting a new optional setting—“Trailer Graphics Mode”—which would aim to replicate that exact cinematic look from the trailers. It could include:

  • Dynamic shadows and improved lighting

  • Atmospheric fog and bloom

  • Sharper tone mapping for realistic contrast

  • Enhanced particles, reflections, and water effects

  • Optional ray tracing-lite for devices that can handle it

This wouldn’t replace the default graphics—it would just be a toggle for players who want that immersive, cinematic vibe. A lot of modern devices can easily handle it, and it would bring the game’s visual experience closer to what people see in promotional content.

Basically: let the game look like the trailers we fell in love with.

    All these features such as actual volumetric fog, tone mapping settings, and real time sun rays and shadows used to possible in early Bedrock Previews under the “Deferred Technical Preview” graphics option. This graphics mode allowed pack makers to create their own unique packs, some even made possible to achieve a trailer look. The engine was later replaced by Vibrant Visuals, which removed these features upon its release. I would love to see these features return someday, as an “Advanced Graphics” mode toggle for the new gen consoles and high end PCs, to achieve what Minecraft could’ve looked like cinematic.
