Can't Use Vibrant Visuals on Realm -- OPTION GREYED OUT

Hi there, and thank you for reaching out. My name is Aileen, and I’m an independent advisor here to guide you.

If Vibrant Visuals is available in your solo world but greyed out in your Realm on Windows 10, it usually means the pack isn’t properly activated for everyone in the Realm. Here’s how you can fix that:

Make sure the pack is added to the Realm

On your Windows 10 device, open Minecraft and go to Play > Edit (pencil icon) next to your Realm.

Select Resource Packs, then check Active to see if Vibrant Visuals is listed.

If it’s under “Available” only, highlight Vibrant Visuals and click Activate so it moves to “Active”.

Verify everyone has the same version

On Windows 10, open the Marketplace and make sure Vibrant Visuals shows as “Owned” or “Installed.” If it’s not installed, download it.

Update Minecraft to the latest version on all devices (Xbox and Windows) so you’re all on the same game build.

Ask the Realm owner to apply the pack

Only the person who owns the Realm can activate resource packs for everyone. If your friend on Xbox already did this, double-check they used their “Edit Realm” settings on Windows 10 as well—sometimes console menus differ.

Restart Minecraft on Windows 10

After the pack is activated, close Minecraft completely and reopen it. Then join the Realm again. This ensures the game loads Vibrant Visuals from the server.

Check for conflicting add-ons or experiments

If you have other mods or experiments enabled, disable them temporarily. Some combinations can make a pack grey out in a Realm.

Go to Settings > Global Resources and make sure Vibrant Visuals is not conflicting with anything else.

After the pack is marked “Active” on the Realm and Windows 10 is updated, everyone should be able to turn on Vibrant Visuals when they join. If it’s still greyed out, have everyone make sure they’re running the same Minecraft version and that they’ve downloaded the pack from the Marketplace.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Your GPU doesn't support DX12, and wouldn't have the power anyway, it's ten years old and does not support DX12 ultimate which is required

You need a dedicated graphics card

it has to Support DirectX 12 ultimate, DirectX 12.3

There is no work around outside of buying a new computer or upgrading your GPU in a desktop

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with vibrant visuals.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectations properly, Vibrant Visuals, including point lighting, is an experimental feature that needs to be specifically turned on.

Here's how to enable it:

Please launch the game on your Xbox Series X.

And then choose whether you want to start a new world or modify an existing Next is to navigate to the "Experiments" section within the world settings.

Then locate the "Vibrant Visuals" option and turn it on.

Me sure you also enable the "Turn on Experiments anyway" option.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

Vibrant Visuals require a DirectX 12 Ultimate compatible graphics adapter, unfortunately, your Intel graphics does not support it.
