Vanilla Experience

The classic vanilla textures paired with Dynamic Details' carefully crafted lighting, water and atmosphere. The most performance-friendly option.

64x Resolution

The iconic Dynamic Details look with 64×64 pixel textures — a perfect balance between detail and performance.

128x Resolution

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:

  1. Go to Settings → Video
  2. Under Graphics Mode, select Vibrant Visuals
Enable Vibrant Visuals

Adjust gamma

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

  1. Go to Settings → Video
  2. Click "Vibrant Visuals Options" to reveal the Adjust Gamma button
  3. Move the slider to 100%, or click "Reset to Default"
Adjust Gamma

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:

  1. Follow the Global or Local Setup instructions
  2. 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.

If your game feels laggy, try this:
  • Switch to Vanilla Experience or 64x
  • Lower your render distance
  • 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.
