Graphics Parity in Bedrock

Java features an advanced rendering system that includes ambient fog, blending of the sky and clouds into the fog at the render distance, a shader-managed lightmap, ambient occlusion (AO) by level quarters, and occlusion of the lower skybox over the sun, moon, and stars. In contrast, the Bedrock retains the original behavior of the RenderDragon engine as it was implemented. This results in the following technical discrepancies compared to Java:

• Lighting: A lightmap and AO with outdated behavior, particularly noticeable in the shading of emissive blocks and smooth lighting calculations. Non-full blocks such as stairs and slabs fail to block light per-face and act as fully transparent to light propagation (reported in MCPE-157451), causing severe light bleeding.
• Atmosphere: A skybox with incorrect centering, geometry, and horizon gradients (reported in MCPE-164447), coupled with a single-layer fog that lacks Java’s dual-layer system and translucent blending.
• • Textures: Poor mipmap filtering that makes distant grass and leaves appear excessively light and washed out.

If these changes are implemented, believe me, a large number of people would switch to Bedrock without hesitation
