The first step is to check your device type, which will help determine the type of packs to install and how smoothly the Vibrant Visuals will be displayed. Some processors and chipsets are compatible with Vibrant Visuals,
Such as:
- Adrenos 830 (Snapdragon 8 Elite, Gen 3 or 4)
- Adrenos 640 (Snapdragon 855)
- Mali G-57, Mali-G610, or Mali-G77 (Deminsety, and MediaTek)
- Xclipse 530 or higher (Exynos 1480 or 1580)
Google search your “device name” processor or check the official website for the device, to see information about its processor and chipset.

Where to find and install free packs
Minecraft Bedrock has its default pack turned on for most compatible devices; however, websites like MCPEDL, CurseForge, and MCPE Place all have Vibrant Visuals packs that you can install for free, giving you more customization options. These packs can further enhance the water, lighting, and sky in Minecraft Mobile.
Simply search for Vibrant Visuals on any of these websites, and you'll see a list of free packs. Keep in mind that for the low and medium-end devices, any packs that add extremely realistic water and northern lights to the night sky may cause some lag.

Potential Problems and Issues
If you have followed the correct steps, but the Vibrant Visuals are not working, there is one reason why this can happen. It can be fixed, but not as easily.
Incompatible device
Using a device that is not compatible with Vibrant Visuals will not have the option to enable them, and it will be grayed out. Or the option may be available, but it may cause significant lag.
Now, most modern devices with mid-range to high-end chipsets should work fine. Always keep in mind that Vibrant visuals is not fully optimized for mobile devices yet. So the high-end chipsets will be lag-free with simple packs.
Lastly, Vibrant Visuals currently doesn't work on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

Is there a way to fix these issues?
Not currently, you can join the Minecraft beta and enable Vibrant Visuals in the experiments; however, this can still cause lag and crashes if the device is incompatible with Vibrant Visuals.
Currently, the only solution is to play on compatible devices or wait until they are fully optimized.
To sum up, you can enable vibrant visuals as long as your phone or tablet is compatible. Many packs can be found on some websites for free and can be added to your worlds individually or to the global resources to get the full effects, giving you more customization.
