🌅 RadiantBedrock

A cinematic and atmospheric visual pack for Minecraft Bedrock Edition, built around Vibrant Visuals/PBR and designed with scalable performance in mind.

RadiantBedrock enhances the visual atmosphere of Minecraft while keeping the original game's identity intact — Minecraft, but as if its lighting system received a major graphical upgrade.

🌅 Atmosphere & skies
🌫️ Fog & depth
💧 Enhanced water
🌙 Local lighting
🌑 Soft shadows
🎨 Color grading
🔧 PBR fallback settings

⚙️ Four Quality Presets

RadiantBedrock includes four visual profiles designed to scale the experience across different levels of hardware:

🟢 LOW

Focused on performance while retaining the core RadiantBedrock visual style.

🔵 MEDIUM

The recommended balance between visual quality and performance.

🟠 HIGH

Increased visual fidelity for systems with additional GPU headroom.

🔴 ULTRA

The maximum visual configuration, intended primarily for high-quality visual presentation and screenshots.

The presets progressively adjust parameters such as water waves and caustics, lighting, atmosphere and other visual settings.

💧 Enhanced Water

RadiantBedrock's water system uses Vibrant Visuals water settings to provide:

• Animated waves
• Adjustable wave depth
• Water particle concentration
• Caustics
• Biome-based water color contribution
• Scalable quality between presets

Higher presets increase the complexity of the water simulation, with ULTRA using up to 28 wave octaves.

☀️ Lighting & Atmosphere

RadiantBedrock focuses heavily on the relationship between light, sky and environment.

The project includes:

• Sun and moon lighting
• Ambient lighting
• Atmospheric color transitions
• Fog and distance depth
• Local light sources
• Color grading
• Soft shadow styling

The goal is a cinematic look without turning Minecraft into a completely different game.

---

🌙 Local Lighting

Different light-emitting blocks receive their own lighting colors and types, allowing torches, lanterns, candles, end rods and other light sources to contribute differently to the atmosphere.

🖥️ Designed With Integrated Graphics in Mind

RadiantBedrock was designed with AMD Vega 8 integrated graphics as an important performance target.

The project does not require:

• RTX
• Hardware ray tracing
• A dedicated GPU
• Java Edition shader loaders
• OptiFine
• Iris
• Sodium
• Fabric
• Forge

The pack is designed as a data-driven Minecraft Bedrock Vibrant Visuals resource pack, rather than a Java Edition GLSL shaderpack.

🧪 The August 2026 AI Experiment

RadiantBedrock also serves as an experiment in AI-assisted graphics development.

The project was created to explore what modern AI-assisted development can produce for Minecraft Bedrock in August 2026, from the initial technical specification through project structure, implementation, quality presets and documentation.

However, the goal is not simply to say:

“An AI made this.”

The goal is to see what can actually be built, tested and refined when AI is used as a development tool.

The project follows a process of:

Specification → AI-assisted development → Static review → Packaging → Runtime testing → Visual testing → Refinement

The project specification explicitly prioritizes compatibility, stability, correct rendering and performance before additional visual effects.

📦 Included

• LOW resource pack
• MEDIUM resource pack
• HIGH resource pack
• ULTRA resource pack
• Complete source project
• Project documentation

Each preset contains its own manifest and configuration for atmosphere, color grading, fog, lighting, local lighting, PBR, shadows and water.

⚠️ Requirements

Minecraft Bedrock Edition with Vibrant Visuals support.

Enable Vibrant Visuals through Minecraft's video settings.

RadiantBedrock is intended for Windows PC and was developed around the Minecraft Bedrock 26.42 target described by the project files.

🤖 Development Disclosure

RadiantBedrock was developed with AI assistance as part of an experiment documenting AI-assisted graphics development in August 2026.

The project was subsequently reviewed and tested as part of the development process.
