The Super Duper Graphics Pack is a canceled graphics upgrade that was formerly in development for Bedrock Edition. It was announced at E3 2017 ,[1][2][3] received further promotion at MINECON Earth 2017 with the Super Duper Minecraft Musical,[4] was delayed due to problems with the graphics engine and performance issues,[5] and was ultimately canceled in 2019.[6] This later evolved on to become what we know now as Vibrant Visuals, but there are no texture changes.

The pack was intended to add dynamic shadows, lighting that streams through fog, movement in leaves, grass and other foliage, new textures for blocks, items, mobs and villagers, directional lighting, edge highlighting, specular maps, additional 3D geometry, emissive maps, tone mapping, dynamic exposure, increased draw distance, parallax occlusion mapping, and other graphical improvements. It would have cost around $10.00 USD.[5]
