The developers previously stated that it was 720p in both modes because of issues related to shifting resolutions.

Microsoft notes that Minecraft's 720p docked/undocked resolution isn't a question of system power, but stems from issues currently experienced shifting from one resolution to the other when docking/undocking. It's possible, albeit not confirmed, that Minecraft for Switch could hit 1080p docked down the road.

This is not related to the upcoming Better Together update which still has no release date.

Does "1080p display" mean "1080p rendering resoluton", though, or does it just enable 1080p output? Or does the Switch always output at 1080p anyway?

Mr Swine · Jul 25, 2017

Nice that it runs at 1080p now

nubbe · Jul 25, 2017

render up to 1080p™

mindsale · Jul 25, 2017

This was not the game I was hoping would get a docked resolution bump to 1080p.

Unless Nintendo can do Breath of the Wild via update.

The Switch does always output 1080p when docked, so "1080p display" seems to be the rendering resolution.

mavericktopgun · Jul 25, 2017

Nice. Breath of the Wild with higher res textures and 1080p please

Ninja Dom · Jul 25, 2017

This should help a lot. I play Creative mode in 2 player co-op split screen very often. And the inventory is difficult to read even on a 48" television. 1080p bump should make it a lot easier to read.

One of the rumored features in the next switch firmware update

I only have a very basic knowledge of Minecraft, but there's such a thing as "sniper duels" in there ?

It's the name of an achievement for a long range Skeleton Archer kill using a bow.

Oh thanks. Makes more sense. ^_^

Too bad Switch doesn't have web browser so you could use https://downloadmoreram.com/ right now.

Quite a positive game update and we have a ton of shit posts already.. trend for Switch related threads?

Switch has more than 3 GB of usable RAM. Wii U had 1 GB.

Switch has 4xRAM of WiiU, so higher res textures are definitely no RAM problem. Performance wise the Switch GPU should handle it too.

WiiU had 2GB, Switch has 4GB. Both lose +/- 1GB for the OS etc, so that leaves WiiU with 1GB and Switch with 3GB.

Switch loses 0.5 GB to OS. So 3.5 GB RAM available. Wii U and its horrible OS uses 1 GB RAM. So Switch has 3.5 times the RAM for games.

Discokuningas · Jul 25, 2017

When is this coming? I'm from Europe and my game doesn't update yet. It's version 1.0.5. Isn't this new update 1.0.6?

I don't think we have definitive answer for how much RAM the Switch OS takes, but rumors are it is significant less than 1GB. So Switch has definitely more than 3GB RAM available for games.

Nice hoping botw will get it soon too.
If minecraft can do it and mk8 so can botw

It doesn't work like this.

jiiikoo · Jul 25, 2017

Are there news about when the graphical overhaul is coming?

Well the game was made for wii u originally.
So that would explain why it was running poor

Rolodzeo · Jul 25, 2017

60fps while you're at it too, Nintendo.

lol

JonnyDBrit · Jul 25, 2017

I'm curious as to what the performance will be like, or if there's other setting tweaks at 1080p

bomblord1 · Jul 25, 2017

I wonder how big the impact on performance is. Previously the game actually had a more higher average framerate than the PS4 version due to a combination of a lower draw distance and the 720p resolution.

Steve Youngblood · Jul 25, 2017

This thread isn't about Zelda. Quit talking about Zelda.

If you read the OP you'll see that this 1080p upgrade patch was related to them fixing a bug which was preventing them from switching resolutions when docked, rather than any issue with performance. EDIT: So I wouldn't expect anything like this for other games that haven't experienced said bug.

LightningXCE · Jul 25, 2017

Wow, that's awesome. Curious to see performance comparisons.

Looking a bit towards the horizon I am actually curious how the performance of this update will stack up against the performance of the Bedrock Update. I figured they'd actually patch it to 1080p with the Better Together update as opposed to one before the transition.

BRocknRolla · Jul 25, 2017

Wow at the thread derail. And the stupidity of it too...

I'm glad they did this. I figured they would given that it sounded like they were having issues figuring out switching on their end.

psychowave · Jul 25, 2017

Do people who don't own a Switch really go into Switch news threads they aren't interested in just to snark? Honest question.

mavericktopgun · Jul 25, 2017

It's nice to see that Minecraft gets better and better on Switch.

KratosEnergyDrink · Jul 25, 2017

As in all Switch threads?

Vanillalite · Jul 25, 2017

I'm majorly surprise they even bothered due to the Switch moving to the new Be Together engine.

That being said my daughter plays in handheld mode 90% of the time. I'm like 100%.

I think she'll appreciate the bug fixes though.

PS: Would be nice if we could just cut out all the replies in this thread from people who don't play Minecraft or don't own the Switch version. :/

Polygonal_Sprite · Jul 25, 2017

Nice. Was waiting for this before buying!

Lazaro · Jul 25, 2017

I guess now is a good time as any to double dip on the Switch version.

The Spoony Hou · Jul 25, 2017

Cool. I'm just waiting to be able to transfer Wii U worlds to buy this.

sixteen-bit · Jul 25, 2017

That's neat. I wonder if DF will do a follow-up analysis video.

Damn, only 60? I was hoping to connect it to my 144Hz Gsync PC display.

jariw · Jul 25, 2017

This fix would mean that they could fix the font/icon size when playing split screen now?
