How to Enable Ray Tracing and PBR Textures

Vanilla HDR Pack includes a small number of Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures designed for testing ray tracing in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Once the pack is active, you can toggle the ray tracing option in your video settings to view the stereoscopic effects and realistic block details.

Activating the Resource Pack

Before you can turn on ray tracing, the pack must be active in your global or world settings:

1. Open Settings from the main menu or pause screen.

2. Scroll down to Global Resources (or open a specific world's Resource Packs tab).

3. Open My Packs, select Vanilla HDR Pack, and press Activate.

4. Note that this is a standard resource pack only; you do not need to turn on any Experimental Features in your world settings.

Turning On Ray Tracing

With the pack loaded, enable the ray tracing toggle:

1. Go to Settings and select Video.

2. Scroll down to find the Ray Tracing toggle and switch it on.

3. Load into a world and inspect updated blocks closely. Because the pack currently modifies only part of the vanilla textures and includes a small set of test PBR textures, only certain blocks will display the 256x resolution and 3D depth effects.
