What they should have just done is just add an upgrade pack, not a totally entirely different game. Like, how hard can it be or, in other words, how incompetent could you be to not be able to port just a simple version of Minecraft over to a Switch 2, which by the way, is very compatible with Switch 1. Let's not also start talking about how previously in previous interviews, when they were talking about console editions, they said they were going to stop with that because it was actually discontinuing because it was actually a non-smooth way of operating their game they said. So they said let's just make it one game that you have to buy it once and now you'll own it forever, and they'll keep updating it. But if you have the Minecraft Switch 1 update, you will probably stop receiving updates in like 5 years or something, I don't know, you know what I'm talking about.

So far I’m having really fun on Minecraft and with the 28 render distance it is really lifesaver for me since I am used to the 12 render distance.

It’s smooth, it looks good and it’s actually playable and with vibrant visuals it looks okay and if you want my settings to get a smooth experience, you copy these settings.

Preferences: Custom. FPS: 60. Shadow Quality: Low. Cloud Range: Medium. Volumentric Fog Quality: Off. Reflections: Off. Upscaling Mode: Bilinear. Resolution: 66%. Render distance: 16 chunks.

So ive upgraded my minecraft on the Nintendo switch to the Nintendo switch 2 version and now the only thing it has is my worlds and nothing else not my avatar, addons, texture packs not even minecoins to get actions and stuff back.

Is this something common or specific to Nintendo switch?

Is there any solution?

En portatil

Todo en bajo, sin nubes, 75% de resolucion, 16 chunks, vibrant visuals, bloom al 0% y limite de fotogramas 50, 55, 60 (si lo ponen en ilimitado da tirones muy feos)

Pueden haber muchos mobs o items en el suelo pero cuando spawnean hay

tirones.

Si tienen un pack de marketplace ponganlo en lo mas bajo (yo tengo prizma

visuals).

Si su mundo esta abanzado o es tecnico tendran que o forzar los fps a 50fps o poner la resolución en 66% para mantener los 60 fps de forma un poco mas constante

(Ojala se pueda traducir porque no se inglés xd)

I have the game physically and I’ve tried loading the game up like 5 times now, trying to get notification to purchase the discounted upgrade to show up, but it’s not showing up at all. It says all I need to do is load the game up and I’ll get a message to upgrade to the switch 2 version, but nothing shows up even after refreshing and waiting. Why is this happening and what do I do to fix it?

So as I'm sure most know that Minecraft on Switch 2 finally released (technically yesterday) and I have been trying to get the game too look good but also run fine on it

Does anyone know the best settings for VV on this? to make it look good but run good FPS? please let me know

just asking if i get the switch 2 digital version or i still have to put che cartridge inside the console

Anyone keen to play on realms? Got a world I want to develop with a couple of mods. Also open to suggestions for additional mods

Mode: Vibrant Visuals
Preferences: Performance
Frame Limit: Unlimited
Shadow Quality: Low
Cloud Range: High
Volumetric Fog Quality: Off
Reflections: Off
Bloom Intensity: 100%
Upscaling Mode: Bilinear
Resolution: Automatic
Render Distance: 12 chunks
Render Clouds: Toggle On
Fancy Leaves: Toggle On

I’m comfortable enough to just enjoy the game and building with these settings.

Basically on this post i commented on about if mc will have a switch 2 version and i said hopefully the upgrade pack is free and wow if you have mc for switch you get the upgrade pack for free

Ive seen many posts showing an FPS counter, but I dont know if that was because of the beta

For at least a week, I haven’t been able to go online in Minecraft on my Switch 2. My wifi speeds on it are pretty normal, and I was playing online just fine up until recently. Every time I boot it up, it takes over 5 mins just to sign into my Microsoft account, and even then, I can’t access the marketplace or servers because they take too long to load.

It’s even weirder because I’ve tested the game while the Switch 2 was connected to my hotspot and even on a public wifi, and it works just fine. I’ve tried multiple methods relating to the wifi that I was hoping would fix things, like turning off ipv6, making sure the MTU is set to 1500, changing DNS settings, plugging in Ethernet, forgetting then reconnecting to the wifi, sticking to the 5 ghz band, resetting my router, changing the channel to 36, but none of these did anything to help.

I was thinking maybe the issue would go away once I downloaded the Switch 2 version, but unfortunately, it still has this issue. I’m losing my mind on what else I could do.

Hopefully it will be addressed soon.

Did anyone find a possible fix for the mail infinitely loading and the upgrade not appearing?

ive tried rebooting the game,and logging in and out from my microsoft account, still no luck.

Edit 1: Vibrant Visuals can be turned off completely while not in a world from settings. Setting the graphics mode to Fancy and FPS to Unlimited from here will give you up to 120 FPS and a max. render distance of 28 chunks! The controls and responsiveness in the game are also just like S1 edition in this mode. Thanks to TabouletVR in comments for that. The settings below are specifically for Vibrant Visuals.

The Switch 2 Edition‘s default setting presets are low-key terrible, either heavily downscaled or just not running smooth.

On top of that, if Vibrant Visuals doesn’t run too well, the responsiveness, controls, building-and-breaking bugs and everything takes a very noticeable hit.

My settings don’t use high settings, but I think they work much smoother and look pretty great at the same time.

Framerate limit: 50/55 FPS. Not quite 60, but the game seems to sit around 40-50 inconsistently and constantly varying otherwise. Setting it to 50 gets the smoothest experience I’ve managed to find so far.

Framerate note: Unlimited FPS is the least stable fps setting. Setting it to locked 60 will feel better than Unlimited as far as I can see

Shadow Quality: Low

Cloud Range: Medium

Volumetric Fog Quality: Low

Reflections: Off

Resolution: Native. I was so glad this option was here, because oh my goodness the automatic scaling mode on S2 looks awful.

Render Distance: 16 Chunks

Render Distance note: This does have a huge impact on Vibrant Visuals performance. If you don’t mind low RD (for me, closer fog can make it feel like I’m more of an explorer sometimes). 10/8 chunks can sometimes push VV to a smooth 60fps.

Render Clouds and Fancy Leaves on

I also find the default brightness way too bright on the S2 screen and have it set to 70%.

Hope this helps anyone else who was definitely not expecting that default experience…

Edit 1: You can turn off Vibrant Visuals completely when not in a world from settings. Thanks to TabouletVR in comments for that. Setting the framerate to unlimited in Simple or Fancy mode here will give you up to 120 FPS as well as 28 smooth chunks!

What do I even do to this?

Estado y Problemas Conocidos en Nintendo Switch 2

• Fallas gráficas: Muchos usuarios reportan que al intentar activar o transferir mundos que usaban el pack de Actions & Stuff a la versión de Nintendo Switch 2, los mobs (criaturas) se ven negros, distorsionados o completamente bugeados. [1, 2]
• Falta de animaciones: Las animaciones personalizadas de las manos, los objetos, herramientas y movimientos de los animales a menudo no cargan correctamente en esta nueva edición. [1]

I've been trying to force that notification into existence for like 4 hours now. I restarted the game, I updated the game, I tried multiple different internet connections, I entered worlds, entered servers, let it sit for an hour, even restarted my switch 2 and I'm still stuck on this screen with the side bar not loading. I was so excited to try the Switch 2 version today but seems like I won't be able to get it unless it fixes it self somehow. Does anyone have the same problem and was anyone able to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Tried every troubleshoot on website, says logged in on phone/computer , but wont on the switch itself. I got the deluxe edition and can’t access any of it

Although today is the release day of Switch 2's version of Minecraft, I feel like playing the game with Vibrant Visuals really makes the game stutter.

I've set certain options down like the render distance to 4-8 chunks which is the lowest in-game, and certain graphic settings are between Medium to Low settings but even so, the game can still somewhat stutter.

Anyone here have any recommendations to make the game run much smoother? I am currently playing with Fancy Graphics in the meantime but I want to enjoy the game with Vibrant Visuals more.

Hi everyone,

For about a week now I haven't been able to sign in to my Microsoft account in Minecraft on my Nintendo Switch 2. It happens in both the Switch 2 version and the Switch 1 version of the game, which are installed on the same console.

When I try to sign in, I get this message (translated from French): "Authentication failure. We couldn't sign you in to your Microsoft account. Access to Realms, profiles and your Store items will be limited. Please try again later. Error code: Podzol."

The Store doesn't load either, and in the Dresser I get the error codes E-0020 and 3-ABZVA-5020, so I can't change my skin.

My Microsoft account works fine, and Minecraft works on my phone with the same account. Microsoft even sent me a security notification about a sign-in from "Minecraft for Switch 2", so the console does reach my account and the failure seems to happen after the Microsoft sign-in step. The console's date and time are correct and synced with the internet.

One thing that might be related: when I imported my data from the Switch 1 version, the game crashed. After relaunching, it asked me to import again but showed 0 MB to import. Since the Switch 1 version fails too, I'm not sure that's the cause.

What I've already tried:

- Deleting the save data of the Switch 2 version and transferring my data from the Switch 1 version again

- Connecting through my phone's hotspot

- Signing in with the code using a different web browser

Nothing changed. I also contacted Minecraft Support, but I only got an automatic reply saying Mojang can't help with Microsoft account issues.

Has anyone seen the "Podzol" error before, or found a fix? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

So, since ive gotten Minecraft downloaded before, I upgraded to switch 2 version. But all of my achievements are gone, I only noticed after looking in my inventory and got that achievement again, I really hope I don't need to get them, again, which won't kill me since ive just got 39, but still don't want to do everything for achievements again
