Troubleshooting

Quick fixes for common issues, and where to get help.

01Getting started

Dynamic Details requires a device that supports Vibrant Visuals.

Minecraft for Nintendo Switch 2 will support Vibrant Visuals when the native version releases on October 27, and will therefore support Dynamic Details. However, Dynamic Details isn’t available on the original Nintendo Switch because the platform doesn’t support Vibrant Visuals.

Enable Vibrant Visuals

Dynamic Details is built for Vibrant Visuals — without it, the pack won't work correctly. Here's how to enable it:

Go to Settings → Video
Under Mode, select Vibrant Visuals

Install Dynamic Details

Follow these steps to activate Dynamic Details across your entire game:

Go to Settings → Global Resources
Activate Dynamic Details
Click the gear icon to reveal subpacks
Choose your preferred subpack: Vanilla Experience, 64x Resolution, or 128x Resolution

02Choose your version

Choose the right version

16x 128x

Version

Only want the lighting without the textures?

If you want only Dynamic Details' custom lighting, atmosphere, water and glowing ores — without the custom textures — that's exactly what the Vanilla Experience subpack is for:

Follow the Global or Local Setup instructions
When choosing your subpack, select "Vanilla Experience"

03Settings & performance

Adjust gamma

For the best experience, we recommend setting your gamma to around 100% (the default). Here's how to adjust it:

Go to Settings → Video
Scroll to "Display Brightness" and click the Adjust button
Move the slider to 100%, or click "Reset to Default"

Performance optimisation

If your device supports Vibrant Visuals, Dynamic Details can run perfectly fine. For the best balance between visuals and performance, we recommend using 64x.

If your game feels laggy, try these:

In video settings, choose performance
Lower your render distance
Lower your resolution
Switch to Vanilla Experience or 64x
Close background apps
Restart Minecraft completely

04Actions & Stuff

How to use Dynamic Details with Actions & Stuff

This combination gives you Actions & Stuff's animations together with Dynamic Details' textures and lighting. Follow the setup for whichever method you prefer.

Go to Settings → Global Resources
Activate Actions & Stuff, then activate Dynamic Details
Use the arrow to make sure Dynamic Details is on top and Actions & Stuff is below it
Click on Actions & Stuff → click the gear icon to reveal its subpacks
Choose "Custom Experience"

05Troubleshooting

Pack not working

Make sure Vibrant Visuals is enabled. Without it, Dynamic Details cannot function.

Textures not loading correctly

Make sure Dynamic Details is placed above other packs in your resource pack list. If needed, restart Minecraft.

Need to use it on a Realm?

Yes! Dynamic Details works on Realms. Players will need a Vibrant Visuals-compatible device to experience Dynamic Details’ full visuals.

Can’t select 128x?

Some devices show 128x as unavailable because of low memory. Mojang requires Marketplace packs to set memory tiers so they run smoothly on every device. The 64x subpack looks almost identical.
