I've tried every way to select ray tracing with the bedrock resource pack activated and can't get it ungreyed out. Anyone else had this issue? I'm using bedrock on my pc to play with my girlfriend on Xbox using our realm world. The swords and tools are also blank and don't look correct

I only see the help forum not the #help channel

I'm in the discord server right now there is no help or bed rock help in the server search list

Dumb question maybe, but are you trying to turn on the RTX in global settings, or once you enter the game? For whatever reason you have to enter the world before that option is available. If you're still having issues I can try uninstalling mine and restarting to see what I had to get it working, but as I said in the main chat, I think Vibrant Visuals looks a bit better with it 🙂

Also, this AI is dumb xD This is the help channel it's telling you to ask in xD

Which resolution and version?

cleverrocket-38 OP 2026-09-30T02:13:27+00:00

256 4.1.0

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:13:34+00:00

I remember one of the older versions/resolutions was Vibrant Visuals only because I assumed people would prefer VV only but then switched to VV and RTX

@cleverrocket-38 256 4.1.0

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:14:01+00:00

That could be the problem

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:14:58+00:00

This version is locked on Vibrant Visuals, you can try out an older version if you're keen on RTX. I'd tell you the new VV look is better than RTX though

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:15:14+00:00

Or you can use this temporarily

If the VV is better thats fine then im fine with it if thats the best resolution i will get. Its just the tools seem to be broken or not there. what do your swords look like by chance so I can compare

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:18:22+00:00

Swords should be similar

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:18:40+00:00

Only blocks with problems might be Armour (Vibrant Visuals issue)

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:18:47+00:00

But you have better Minecraft lighting

rustyranger-63 2026-09-30T02:18:54+00:00

And overall suits Minecraft

Thank you for the help one last question is there anything to combine with this to get more render distance ?
