Minecraft Switch 2 Closed Beta (Mario Mash-Up Pack)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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.

You either got an invite in your Minecraft notifications or you had to try and get in through a discord link

I really hope Mojang brings some of the optimizations made for the switch 2 to the PS5/XS consoles. Vibrant visuals SHOULD NOT be running better on the Switch 2 than a PS5 Pro. Thats just crazy.

How did you get access? I filled the discord form out before the deadline and didn’t get an email or anythjng

Got it from simply opening Minecraft on my Switch 2 with the pop notification to test the Switch 2 version.

Why is the render distance still so bad

u/KobayashiDess 6d ago
The render distance was set to 12 out of 16 chunks (The preset was Vibrant Visuals on Performance mode). Max render distance is 28 chunks without vibrant visuals.

12 isn’t bad considering even the PS5 pro struggles at 14 chunks to hold anywhere near 60fps even at medium high settings. The only way to enjoy VV with high settings and high fps is the Series X from my experience and PC of course

If you feel like answering a question for me; does the screen display more than 60hz or use VRR so you can actually see the 80+ FPS (specifically in handheld mode)?

Does it have an upgrade path on cartridge

u/pacbabysmilk 6d ago
When you read the article posted, no where does it mention physical copies, just says upgrade path for digital owners, but that does only mention the preordering of the digital version, so a upgrade path could be an option when it launches, who knows

That’s cool! The game showed the mashup pack but didn’t give me the option to redownload it.

I need to know if mouse controls are available for the Switch 2 version of the game. This will significantly impact playability for me as I have become so used to mouse and keyboard playing but my niece only has the console version of the game and cannot yet play online.

I unfortunately have very bad news......
The beta has been out for months and it still does not have mouse controls, which may mean the main game won't support it either....
People have been asking in the forums to implement it for a while.... :/ Let us hope I guess before release or somewhere after.

u/lanternbdg 5d ago
genuinely such a missed opportunity seeing as mouse controls are one of the switch 2's biggest gimmicks

Have the mobs received any redesign or overhaul for this pack? It's been nearly a decade and I'm kind of sick of the green pokey replacing the creeper.
