Setup
Global setup — Use Dynamic Details for all worlds
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
Local setup — Use Dynamic Details for one specific world
Want Dynamic Details only in a particular world? Keep different setups for different worlds this way:
- Go to the Settings of your chosen world → Resource Packs
- Activate Dynamic Details
- Click "Settings" to reveal subpacks
- Choose your preferred subpack: Vanilla Experience, 64x Resolution, or 128x Resolution
Versions & settings
Choose the right version
Maximum detail and visual fidelity. The ultimate Dynamic Details experience.
Not sure which to pick? Start with 64x — for most players it offers the best overall balance between looks and performance.
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
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"
Only want the lighting without the textures?
If you want only Dynamic Details' custom lighting, atmosphere, and water — 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"
Performance & common fixes
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.
- In video settings, choose performance
- Lower your render distance
- Lower your resolution
- Switch to Vanilla Experience or 64x
- Close background apps
- Restart Minecraft completely
Common issues & fixes
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.
Water looks transparent
This is a known Minecraft Vibrant Visuals bug. Reload your world — that usually fixes it instantly.
Game looks too dark / bright
Go to Settings → Video → Vibrant Visuals Options → Adjust Gamma. We recommend around 100%.
Looks different from screenshots
This can happen because of time of day, weather, gamma settings, and camera angle. Your world may look slightly different depending on conditions.
Need to use it on a Realm?
Yes — as long as your Realm allows resource packs and all players have Vibrant Visuals compatible devices.
Compatibility
Dynamic Details requires a device that supports Vibrant Visuals.
Unfortunately, Dynamic Details isn't available on Nintendo Switch right now because the platform currently doesn't support Vibrant Visuals.
