Trade-offs
The look is deliberately stylised. Pink haze and rose skies set a mood rather than a vanilla-faithful tint, so it suits players who want atmosphere over accuracy. It is Bedrock only, and Java cannot load it.
Questions about Refined Deferred.
4 questions
How do I install Refined Deferred?
Get the .mcpack file from the CurseForge page and open it so Bedrock imports it. Then enable Refined Deferred under Resource Packs in your world's settings and turn on Vibrant Visuals. Resource packs are switched on per world, so repeat the step for each world you want it in.
Does Refined Deferred work on Java?
No. It is a Bedrock pack distributed as an .mcpack file, and Java cannot load that format. On Bedrock it is made to work on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation and Windows, so players on those platforms can use it.
Do I need Vibrant Visuals for Refined Deferred?
Yes. Refined Deferred is made for Vibrant Visuals, and the last install step is turning Vibrant Visuals on after you import the .mcpack file and enable the pack under resource packs. It works on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation and Windows, and the creator also suggests setting your brightness as shown on the CurseForge page.
Does Refined Deferred include PBR textures?
Yes. Refined Deferred ships full PBR textures for Bedrock in a default set and a 32x set. The 32x set also adds a custom sun and moon. Beyond textures, the pack also includes soft shadows, water caustics and 101 coloured light sources.
