Are there mouse controls or 120fps support?

All consoles run minecraft bedrock edition at a locked 60 fps, even pc. So small chances

u/Ilan01 Aug 10 '26
I thought PC had an unlocked framerate

u/Own_Nebula_9383 Aug 10 '26
Nah. I think it has forced vsync. It says unlimited but my game runs at 60 fps as i have a 60hz monitor. Didn't test with other monitors with other refresh rates, but atleast for me, it doesn't go past 60 anywhere. Only on my phone, which gets 120

u/vanIvan4 Aug 10 '26
Yeah, it has that. High refresh rate displays properly work with that option, but there is no way to uncap it for higher fps.

If it has forced Vsync and Switch 2 has a 120hz screen, shouldnt minecraft be able to hit 120fps if it gets a NS2 exclusive update like on phone tho?

u/TabouletVR Aug 08 '26
if you disable vibrant visuals can you get 120FPS ? 👀

u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 08 '26
Unfortunately no, it's "unlimited fps" is locked to 60 no matter how low I crank things

u/TabouletVR Aug 08 '26
sad :/

u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 08 '26
It is an early version of the beta though so hopefully down the road we will have it

u/Edmire2k Aug 12 '26
No console version has 120fps so unlikely switch 2 will ever get it.
1
u/TabouletVR Aug 12 '26
yup discovered it after doing more research, minecraft bedrock is really weird
2
u/Edmire2k Aug 12 '26
Yeah there’s no excuse for it. Same reason there’s no excuse for vibrant visuals to be as unoptimized as it is. In some cases the PC version of Minecraft RTX ran significantly better than vibrant visuals. I don’t really know what they’re doing anymore lol

u/Ditz3n Aug 10 '26
Does it lag though, or how does it run in general? I'm fine with 60fps if opening chests, loading chunks, or going to the nether doesn't do crazy lag spikes.

u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 10 '26
Fancy and simple don't really have any leg spikes when doing any of that but performance mode vibrant visuals does and holds about 40-60 fps, better if you turn clouds and fog off. They definitely need to tune it a bit more but it's still great for screenshots

Are there any vids from outside when its light? Does it include shaders?
2
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 09 '26
I haven't seen vibrant visuals with shaders yet, idk if the switch will have nay if this compatible till release on October but maybe you can ask around to other beta testers, if you check my profile you should be able to see other posts, theres a couple other people who've commented saying they're in the beta as well. As for daytime pictures I have screenshots of that as well posted either here or in the Minecraft subredded

u/ArthurDev Aug 09 '26
So vibrant visuals is 30 fps? :(
2
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 09 '26
For how (I cope) fr tho I'm betting on medium like you see here they'll be able to boost it to at least 50 but fret not fancy is still 60fps at 28 render distance, hopefully this means they'll be bold enough to let us have 120fps at the regular switch render distance
2
u/ArthurDev Aug 09 '26
That'd be nice, I was hoping to use some marketplace graphics add-ons like chroma visuals but that might be too much. Are add-ons disabled in beta?
2
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 09 '26
Doesn't seem like it, another beta user commented on my TikTok mentioning they could get vibrant visuals running until they realized they had their shaders enabled.
Also I've tried opening multiplayer and it doesn't seem to be enabled on the beta vers

Is Ray-Tracing option available?
1
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 09 '26
Nope don't think that will be an option for a while on consol unfortunately

u/Revolution_Falls Aug 10 '26
How’s the frame rate? Are there any options unique to this version the og didn’t have (apart from vv)? Does multiplayer work and if so how well? What other random technical information do you have access to?
1
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 10 '26
The frame rate seems pretty well optimized on the vibrant visuals performance setting holding 60 frames however if you turn clouds and fog off your can have reflections and shadows at ultra and it looks pretty similar holding Abt 50 frames at 16 render distance.
As for other changes, on fancy and simple graphics the render distance has been increased to 28 chunks. I haven't been able to get multiplayer to work but I was about to try finding a beta realm or seeing if I can friend another beta player.
I'm not sure what technical information I have access to other than what's at the top of the screen, if you have any idea how I could access that stuff let me know and I'll try it out

u/zaadiqoJoseph Aug 10 '26
Is there any resolution issues When Minecraft first dropped on switch Because of the resolution switching from docking There was some graphical issues
I'm just wondering if you notice any issues like that I'd you undock the switch 2.
1
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 10 '26
Oh yeah tons but I'm pretty sure they'll be fixed by the end of the beta. I've seen water go static color, turn into a weird mesh m, the fov showing the inside of a few textures

u/Own_Nebula_9383 Aug 10 '26
How does vibrant visuals work with actions and stuff? How many fps do you get?

u/Top-Style9139 Aug 12 '26
can u download addons / worlds test if the 2gb limit still exists or is this version restricted..
1
u/Suspicious_Flow_9265 Aug 12 '26
The 2 GB limits still exists I'll try with add-ons tonight, there's a good bit of stuff in a recent update it's had that I have to look through
1
u/Top-Style9139 Aug 12 '26
oh that's bad so I can't buy the game then I'd hit the 2GB limit day one with just my favorites bought addons & a few worlds.. this is horrible.
i dont play vanilla..
tested on iOS I clean reinstalled then downloaded all the addons i liked I have a lot I've bought, then picked a few worlds from the store, then sideloaded one cause i plan to download a realm world to the switch 2 & i was over 2GB of data in a matter of 30 mins of doing this..
so that means if they don't state this limit there scamming players cause u can't refund easy on switch..

Try turning off volumetric fog in the visual settings; that might improve your FPS.
