Minecraft: Java Edition is moving to a new graphics API for its Vibrant Visuals update — here’s what that means, and when it’s coming to Mojang’s hit

Mojang Studios is transitioning the Java Edition of Minecraft from the OpenGL graphics API to Vulkan to modernize the game and enhance performance. This change is necessary as OpenGL is outdated and will soon cease to function on macOS systems. Vulkan offers greater flexibility and efficiency in rendering graphics, simplifying future updates. The Vulkan API is already used in the Nintendo Switch version of the Bedrock Edition. Minecraft is currently available for .89 at Loaded and can be accessed through PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
