Most issues have been resolved, but the game still does not support mouse controls.

Come on Mojang... at least use Switch 2's features.

What do you think about this?

Hey guys welcome back to another minecraft update video and today ill be showing you a feature that finally coming to switch 2 version of Minecraft and that is Mouse Controls according the minecraft wiki closed beta for Switch 2 and the settings that will also be there too.

Once the next update drops for Switch 2 that does add it in ill be making a video on it to show you guys on well it performs on the latest system.

Have a Blessed Day!!! :)

I need some advice. My son says he died in his world, and re-spawned really far from his base that he's been working years on. He freaking out because he says if he's too far from it for too long, those areas of the world will be reset. Is there any truth to this? I've never played Minecraft, so I don't know the truth. I want to help him, but he's unable to explain in a way I can help.

So I know nothing about Minecraft. My son asked for Minecraft game for Christmas. He has a Nintendo switch. I see a couple different versions of the game out there. Which one should I get him? What is the difference? Bedrock edition?

Thanks for any guidance!

Hopefully it will be addressed soon.

I just got the notification. Saw that others haven’t gotten it yet.

so as you may know all bedrock shaders stopped working after the new graphics engine render dragon was added to 1.18.30 however recently it was disabled on the switch so i put a shader called energy shaders on my aternos server and joined the server and the shader was working!!

I just checked the news channel and found the pre-order to be released. If you own the switch version you get the switch 2 version for free.

Why do the players with digital copies get upgrades for free bit not physical copy players? The switch 2 edition has Vibrant Visuals and way better performance but we don't want to pay extra for it! I hope you guys are not doing what PlayStation us doing and slowly switching to digital only. I hope one day physical copies will allow for free upgrades too :(

Good day! After being frustrated with the stock settings Mojang provided with the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade for Minecraft, I spent the night tinkering with and optimizing every setting to achieve a good-looking handheld experience.

I tried to strike a good balance between Vibrant Visuals and performance while minimizing input latency. Even the stock Performance preset for Vibrant Visuals has been a letdown, as it doesn't really take full advantage of the Switch 2's 120Hz display. I fixed that.

For the curious and the number nerds:

The Switch 2 boasts a high-refresh-rate panel with VRR (variable refresh rate), which isn't primarily there to let you play games at 120 FPS, but rather to address recurring frame-time inconsistencies. Handhelds like the Switch 2 have a pretty limited power budget, after all.

The catch: Instead of 60 FPS, we're aiming for a 30 FPS target most of the time. But instead of a 16.7ms frame time, we're now looking at a whopping 33.3ms between frames (meaning a longer delay between your input and the visual result, in layman's terms).

In the past, I've advocated for the so-called "Golden 40" on Valve's Steam Deck, which is a 40 FPS frame-rate target designed to address this exact issue. Mathematically, 40 FPS translates to a frame time of 25ms, which sits almost exactly halfway between the other two performance targets. This feels MUCH more responsive than 30 FPS while only adding 10 frames per second to the rendering workload (if you will).

Why bother on a Switch 2, you might ask? Well, 40 FPS at 120Hz means the display can present a new frame at a perfectly even interval of every three refresh cycles.

Here's a graph from one of my old videos to help visualize this:

Disclaimer: I'm not a Minecraft guy. I've mainly used two worlds for benchmarking: the official Vibrant Adventures world and a newly created world with dozens of add-ons (such as Actions & Stuff, Realistic Biomes, Naturalist, and Eternal Caves, to name a few).

I know this isn't really comparable to some of the complex worlds y'all have built over the years, so please bear with me and feel free to share your own findings and feedback in the comments!

My recommended settings:

• FOV: 65° (The extra 5° help a bit with perceived motion stability, but this is a personal preference.)

• Mode: Vibrant Visuals

• Preferences: Custom (use Performance as your starting preset)

• Framerate Limit: 40 FPS

• Shadow Quality: Medium* (Low results in too much pop-in)

• Cloud Range: Low

• Volumetric Fog Quality: Low

• Reflections: Low

• Bloom Intensity: 80% (Lowering this helps a bit with image clarity.)

• Upscaling Mode: Bilinear (Don't bother changing this because of the next setting.)

• Resolution: Native

• Render Distance: 14 chunks

• Render Clouds: Enabled

• Fancy Leaves: Enabled

*Important note on Shadow Quality: There seems to be a bug right now that adds roughly 2ms to the frame time when using any Shadow Quality setting above Low. For the time being, if you want the snappiest possible input response, see if you can live with the shadow pop-in and stick with Low. Combined with the 40 FPS cap at 120Hz, this might almost feel like 60 FPS to you. Personally, I find the pop-in a worse trade-off than the additional millisecond or two.

Let me know what you think, and feel free to share your own settings or optimization findings! Let's hope Mojang continues working on the Switch 2 port's performance...

I can't make lobsidian appear Every time it's stone🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Today I got access to the Mario Mash-Up pack. Wanted to see if vibrant visuals really added anything and I would say yeah it visually improves on it. If there is anything else you want me to show just ask.

**This was recorded using the Switch 2's built-in clip feature. I was in handheld. I do have a capture card but I wasn't on my computer lol.

My daughter is mad getting into Minecraft, so I got a copy for Nintendo switch, and it had a mario mash up version, so I thought it would be good to try the adventure mode.

I spawn in a mushroom house withe a bed and an empty chest. I know minecraft is a resource management game but I just can't mine anything.

I walk up to a block - I get the option on the screen to mine and I press the right shoulder button to mine... My little geezer seems to punch and... Nothing.

I keep trying.. Pressing multiple times, trying different blocks. Nothing.

I managed to kill a pig, and figured out how to eat raw pork - so I think I'm ok in terms of mining (if you work on the assumption of mining a pig for pork)... But as for getting anything else...nope.

Please add to this post, so MS know this isn’t fair

(saw in an e-mail that the payement will go through on the 20th so make sure you all have enough money before tomorrow)

omg this is so cool!! i always wanted to get in!

Been wanting in to the beta forever and minecraft gods have finally smiled upon me!

My two cousins each have an iPad and share a switch. Every time I got to their house and we want to play Minecraft I would join from my phone, but I got sick of playing on my tiny screen.

I bought Minecraft for their switch hoping we could play LAN crossplay. I figured since it’s on the same network I wouldn’t need to sign in to Nintendo or Microsoft. To my dismay with wasn’t the case, I had to sign into a Nintendo account and then a Microsoft account. Even worse, I had to subscribe to Nintendo online to join them.

This is absolutely ridiculous, I would understand signing into accounts and purchasing a subscription to play online. But for LAN as well?! I kinda wish I knew this sooner. There is no information online about this and I had to figure this out on my own.

I hope people who stumble across this find this helpful
