How to get the new RENDER DRAGON SUPPORTED shaders on Xbox, Android, & PC! Today is a big day! Deferred shaders are now officially supported on Minecraft Bedrock for Xbox, Android and PC! This comes with the new Preview version released yesterday!

Intro

all right what's going on everyone so

there's a lot of talk about these

shaders that now work on the Bedrock

preview version and today everyone I'm

going to be showing you how to install

them on each of the consoles that are

available on so Xbox Android and PC I'll

be showing the steps for each of these

devices this is a pretty new process so

if you have any issues I might not be

able to help but I might be able to help

I can try to help in the comments down

below or at my Discord I put timestamps

in the description of the video so

whatever device you're on feel free to

skip to that time stamp and I'll show

the steps a quick Shameless plug I

started a website showing how to get

free add-ons on Xbox and I have many

more videos to come on that website feel

free to check it out but without any

further Ado let's get into how to get

these working shaders on preview for

Xbox to start alright so step number one

Xbox

go into Microsoft Edge on your Xbox and

once you're in Microsoft Edge you want

to type in this URL this is the Shader

pack that I'm going to be using in this

video today there are many Shader packs

that will work I'll probably make like a

top five that work now but this is the

one that I'm going to be showcasing

today so feel free to enter in this

MediaFire link exactly as it is into the

top search bar in Microsoft Edge but

once you type in that URL it will take

you to this page right here and once

you're at this page what you want to do

is hover over the URL that you just

entered press the button with the three

lines on it on your controller and then

go to where it says copy and we want to

copy the entire URL that we just entered

and then once you have that done you can

close out of Microsoft Edge actually and

now that we have that entirely copied we

have to go into another app and this app

is called my files Explorer a lot of you

are probably familiar with this app but

if you're not go ahead to the Microsoft

Store and install my files Explorer this

is what it's called this is what it

looks like the purple app right there

okay so once we launch up my files

Explorer you're going to get this prompt

that shows up the first time you load

into it and it says you need to install

the Standalone expansion game and that's

perfect press on where it says install

from store and you want to go to where

it says install from store and once you

press on that it'll actually take you to

the Microsoft store and now there's

another app you have to download called

expansion for explorers and you want to

get expansion for explorers downloading

onto your Xbox and once you have that

done you'll get another Explorer app

that'll look exactly like this the

purple expansion for explorers and now

you want to launch expansion for

explorers once inside of expansion you

want to go to the top left where it says

download from URL and you want to press

on that once you're inside of that go up

to the top search bar and press a after

you press a press the button with the

three lines on it and then go to where

it says paste and once you press on

paste it'll go away then you want to go

back up to the search bar on the top and

press a on it one more time to update it

you'll now see your MediaFire link which

is perfect and after you do that you can

go all the way to the right side to the

next Arrow and press on the next Arrow

to advance it'll take you to that

MediaFire page and now we can actually

press the blue download button for this

deferred resource pack so press on that

blue download button and that will

automatically get it installing onto

your device and it will automatically

take you to this screen where you'll now

see your resource pack now what you want

to do is hover over the new resource

pack and press the button with the three

lines on it on your controller once you

press on these options you can go down

to where it says copy file and you're

going to want to press on copy file then

you want to go to the left side where it

says package is right here and you want

to press on your packages folder after

you press on packages you're going to

see a whole bunch of different files

different folders the one one we're

looking for is the Microsoft Minecraft

File right here for me it's at the

bottom it will be in here if it's not in

here for you I have a video linked Down

Below on how to fix it feel free to

check out that video you can add it in

yourself but find microsoft.minecraft

and press on it then find local state

and press on it then go to games then go

to com.mojang and then finally go to

where it says resource underscore packs

and press on the resource underscore

packs folder and once you're inside of

the resource underscore packs folder

find any open white space hover over it

press the button with the three lines on

it and then go down to where it says

paste and after you press on paste

that'll then paste in your texture pack

so your texture pack is now in the

resource packs folder and now that we

have our add-on in the resource packs

folder we do have to do a reinstall

method that will basically load in the

add-ons so here's how we do that and we

have to do this reinstall method in

order to load add-ons onto our Minecraft

because with this reinstall method we're

basically going to completely uninstall

Minecraft off of our console and then we

go to the Microsoft shop and we download

an older version of Minecraft that

allowed add-ons and then we're going to

update that version of Minecraft to the

newer version and then then we will have

our add-ons and kind of a little

disclaimer there is a chance that doing

this method could actually set your

world's back in progress or corrupt some

of your worlds there is a chance that's

never happened for me it does happen to

some people and honestly I think for the

large majority of people it works fine

but I will give you that disclaimer and

I unfortunately don't know if that'll

happen to you or not I don't know any

signs to look out for if your worlds

will get corrupted but I need to let you

know there is a risk to doing this but

if you don't really care this will

basically work for you to get add-ons

this is how you do the reinstall method

okay so where I'm at right now I have

all my Minecraft's completely

uninstalled off of your Xbox I have no

Minecraft right now and we're gonna go

to the Microsoft shop we're going to go

to the search bar and we're going to

type in SpongeBob and you're going to

see this Minecraft SpongeBob add-on for

eight dollars don't worry we're not

gonna buy anything but go to this

Minecraft SpongeBob add-on and once

you're at this page scroll down to where

it says works with right here and you'll

see this Minecraft and that is the

proper Minecraft that we want to install

now and it should say install right here

and you just want to get that installing

if it says not sold separately or not

currently available go ahead and

download the game pass version of

Minecraft the normal Minecraft and open

up that Minecraft and have it running in

your background and then come back to

the special Minecraft and it should let

you get it installing but we're going to

press installing on this Minecraft and

that'll send it to our queue it'll be a

little like under a gigabyte there let

it install and once this special

Minecraft is done installing it'll go to

your recently installed right here and

you just want to Simply press on it yet

again and this time it'll save Minecraft

needs an update that's zero kilobytes

right here and you want to go to where

it says update and press on that and

honestly for me on Old gen this update

takes like 35 minutes it takes a long

time if you're on newer gen it'll

probably go faster but right here so I

just leave my console for about 30

minutes I come back and eventually the

special Minecraft will be installed and

once you're inside of the special

Minecraft what you want to do you can

either create a world or go to one of

your already existing worlds but I just

go ahead and create a new world and once

you're in this new world you want to

make sure that you go down to the

resource packs and you will now see that

Shader in here and you want to activate

that Shader pack pretty much so go to

the Shader and I press on activate but

all you have to do is activate that

Shader pack and then create the world or

if it's an already existing world just

go ahead and launch it just launch the

world pretty much and get it generated

so here's our generated world you won't

have the shaders yet because we have to

import them now into Minecraft preview

so I have that world saved you can just

close out of the world and now you want

to go into Minecraft preview on your

Xbox okay so here we are on the latest

version of preview and what you want to

do is go to the worlds go to the bottom

where it says don't see a world copy

worlds from Minecraft release you want

to press on that very bottom option

it'll load but after you press on that

it'll load for a little bit give it some

time and these are all of your worlds

from the real Minecraft and you want to

activate or you want to find the world

that you uh activated the Shader on and

then you want to import the world with

the Shader on it it'll say would you

like to play your world now go to where

it says no but it will be imported into

preview which is perfect so I press no

and now you'll see your world from real

Minecraft in the preview version you

want to go to the edit icon right here

and once you have the edit icon you can

actually see the Shader activated in the

resource packs go to the game settings

up here and in the game settings very

important you want to scroll down to

where it says right here towards the

middle render Dragon features for

creators and you have to activate this

experimental toggle right here so go

ahead and turn on that experimental

toggle and also the villager trading uh

rebalance right there so you have to

have those activated for the shaders to

work but the Shader is activated go

ahead and press on play preview and load

the world and once the world loads up

that is all the steps you will now have

shaders in Minecraft on preview but

there is one last step here what you

want to do is go into your settings and

once you're inside of your settings go

down to where it says video on the left

side press on video and then you want to

go all the way down to the bottom of the

right and you have to turn this on to

get the shaders to show you have to turn

on your graphics mode make sure your

graphics mode is set to deferred

technical preview if it's set to like

fancy the shaders won't work but once

you set that to deferred you will now

have shaders on preview enjoy it

everyone it's really cool and this is

just an awesome update but now I'm going

to move on to how to do it on PC hope

this helped okay so for PC in the

Windows 10 (PC)

description down below I have a link to

this resource pack right here this is

the Shader pack that I'm going to be

using so just press the blue download

button on it and get it onto your

desktop pretty much you'll see it in the

top right that's the Shader pack then

you want to go to my PC or this PC and

you want to search local app data

exactly as it is right here we're going

to import the Shader pack into Minecraft

preview so we enter this in Local app

data into file explorer right here on

the windows then we see that you'll get

these options and from these options you

want to go down to where it says

packages and you're going to press on

the packages folder now once you're

inside of the packages folder then

you're going to want to go ahead and

find the microsoft.minecraft beta or the

microsoft.minecraft windows beta right

here make sure it's the windows beta

version and you want to press on that

folder once you are inside of the

windows beta Microsoft Minecraft folder

then you want to go ahead and find the

local state folder once inside of the

local state folder then you want to go

to the games folder and press on games

after the games folder go to the Comm

dot Mojang folder and then finally go

ahead and find the resource underscore

packs folder press on the resource

underscore packs folder and then you can

just simply drag in that Shader pack

into this resource underscore packs

folder and that will then be imported

into Minecraft preview for you then go

to the Minecraft launcher and once that

loads up make sure that you have the

windows Edition selected on the left

side right here so Minecraft for Windows

you want to go to the left right here

where it says latest release and you

want to go go to the latest preview

because we're playing the preview

version so press on latest preview and

then once you do that you can go to

where it says play and you want to

launch up that preview version of

Minecraft so then your screen will look

like this so now you're at the main menu

screen once you're at the main menu

screen go right here you can create a

new world go to an existing World it

doesn't matter I just create a new world

the main things you want to do is go to

your resource packs and you have to

activate that Shader pack that we just

downloaded so I go to Resource packs on

the left go to available you'll see it

at the very top the Shader test and you

want to activate that resource pack by

pressing activate after you do that go

to the experiments tab on the bottom

left very important that you go here

once you're in the experiments you have

to go all the way down to the bottom

render Dragon features for creators that

is the one that you want to have turned

on make sure you have that toggled on

otherwise it won't work I just go ahead

and turn on all the experiments because

why not but once you've done that

resource pack activated you got the

experiments on go ahead and now create

the world and once you create that world

you will then see that you'll actually

have the shaders activated now if the

shaders aren't showing for you there is

one more step that you have to do go

into your video settings in the game

once you're inside of the video settings

you want to scroll all all the way down

on the right side and then you'll see

Graphics mode and you want to make sure

you have your graphics mode set to

deferred technical preview if it's set

to fancy it won't work so make sure you

have that set to deferred and then

you'll see the shaders but hopefully

this helps you out thank you all so much

for watching and enjoy these shaders

Android

very cool okay now for the Android

shaders as you can see my device cannot

handle these shaders but maybe yours can

the first thing you have to do is

actually uninstall Minecraft off of your

phone I'm not sure how this works with

worlds and stuff I've actually never

played Minecraft on Android until

recording this video so I think you'll

keep your worlds I'm not entirely sure

it is a risk maybe you're taking here

you should be able to just reinstall

normal Minecraft later I think but I'm

not 100 sure I haven't tried it yet so

you might want to wait I'll leave it

updated in the pin comment if you can

actually get your worlds back after

uninstalling I think you should be able

to but in order to do this method you do

have to uninstall then you want to go

down to where it says join the beta

program right here and you want to press

on where it says join to become a beta

member so you press on join it will take

about five minutes pretty much to get

accepted into this program but once you

do get accepted you'll come back to

Minecraft on the Play store it'll say

Minecraft Beta in parentheses now and

then you want to press install on the

Minecraft Beta and you want to get that

installing onto your device and like

once it's done it'll probably ask for an

update that's perfect just get Minecraft

Beta installing after you have the beta

installed in the description down below

I have a link to this resource pack

right here this is the Shader pack that

I'm going to be showing so go ahead and

press on the blue download button once

you're at this screen to get that Shader

installed and that's all you have to do

it'll automatically go into your

downloads folder so just press that blue

download button is all I'm doing right

here and it'll automatically go onto

your device then I go to the Play Store

get file manager plus this is a free

file browser file manager plus is what

it's called right there once you're

inside a file manager plus go to where

it says downloads right here that's

where we just downloaded the Shader so I

press on downloads you'll see the

Deferred resource pack right here and

you just want to press on it once it's

at the top for me press on that deferred

resource pack after you press on that

you'll see this three items resource

pack folder and you want to actually

hold down on it and once you hold down

on it it'll turn like this turquoise

color then you want to go down to the

bottom right to this three buttons and

you want to go to where it says compress

so we're going to compress this folder

into a zip you press on compress it'll

say its name right here it'll say the

new zip you just want to go ahead

resource pack and press OK you'll now

see the resource pack.zip in your

downloads right here all you want to do

is hold down on that zip file again

until it turns kind of turquoise like

this once it turns turquoise now you

want to go down to the middle of the

screen where it says rename and we're

going to press on that rename button

then you want to go to the end where it

says dot zip and we're going to make it

say dot MC pack instead of dot zip

that's all that matters is what's after

the period dot MC pack is what it should

say exactly like this on your screen so

we're just changing that format then go

ahead and press on OK after you've

renamed it to nn.nc pack now you'll see

this rp.mc pack hold down on it again

until it turns turquoise now which one

is go down to the bottom right to the

three buttons again and this time you

want to go to where it says open with I

press on open with and after you press

on open with of course you want to press

on where it says Minecraft because we

want to open this with Minecraft preview

so press on Minecraft it'll then

automatically launch Minecraft on your

phone it'll say installing at the top

and then it'll say success on the import

I already have mine installed so it'll

say that it didn't work but once you

have that texture pack imported then you

want to go to where it says play beta

create a new world or go to an existing

world the main thing is you just have to

have these settings go all the way down

to the bottom left to the experiments

turn on the experiments and the main

experiment you want is the one all the

way down at the bottom the render Dragon

features for creators you have to have

that experiment turned on but I just

turn them all on because why not so turn

on all the experiments then you want to

go to the resource packs on the left

side and you have to activate that

Shader that we just downloaded you'll

see it under your available the Shader

test press activate on that so we have

all the resource packs activated we got

all the features on go ahead and create

the world and once you load in you will

now have the shaders but there is one

last step you have to do here if you

don't see the shaders go into your

settings in the game go to your video

settings and then go all the way down to

Graphics mode and it has to be set to

deferred technical preview it can't be

set to fancy so make sure it's set to

deferred technical preview and then once

you close back out you will see you have

the shaders activated enjoy them

hopefully your phone can run them

because mine definitely cannot but thank

you all so much for watching it's been

Smitty hope it has helped you out and

until the next one I'll keep you all up

to date peace out
