Get Fantasy Vanilla Working with Deferred Rendering

Fantasy Vanilla is built for Bedrock's deferred renderer, which is still in beta. If the pack is active but the renderer is not, most of the showcase effects will not appear.

Activate the pack

1. From the main menu, open Settings and go to Global Resources.

2. Find Fantasy Vanilla under the available packs and press Activate.

3. Move it to the top of the active list so other resource packs cannot override it.

4. If you only want it in one world, open that world's Edit screen and add it under Resource Packs instead.

Switch on the deferred renderer

1. The pack only works on the beta builds of Bedrock it was made for. On a regular release build it will not work as intended.

2. In Settings → Video, look for the graphics mode or deferred rendering option your beta build offers and switch it on.

3. Fully close and reopen the game if the setting asks you to restart.

Confirm it's running

Load a world in daytime and look for:

• Shadows, including your own player shadow on the ground
• Volumetric clouds in place of flat vanilla clouds
• Leaves and plants moving gently

If you see none of these, go back and check that the pack is at the top of the list and that deferred rendering is on.
