Free Community build, supporter-funded development
A free Community Mine-imator build with supporter-funded beta access, sharper Minecraft animation renders, volumetric lighting, HDR glow, and practical workflow upgrades.
Community edition is free and stays free. Built on Mine-imator Simply Upscaled. Not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.
Vexel Build keeps the Mine-imator workflow you know and pushes the output forward with volumetrics, HDR glow, Torch Preview/Final rendering, and a Beacon renderer path for future path tracing.
Creator and Studio supporters can test procedural volumes for fog, smoke, clouds, light beams, shaped volumes, animated wind, and light interaction.
Emission-driven glow gives brighter materials cleaner bloom for emissive blocks, lava, signs, and stylized lighting setups.
Torch is the active realtime renderer for Preview and Final modes. Beacon is the planned future path-traced renderer and is not available yet.
The best Vexel Build features focus on Minecraft animation renders first, then reduce the friction around editing, updating, release infrastructure, and testing builds.
The current Creator and Studio beta adds procedural volumes for fog, smoke, clouds, light beams, shaped volumes, noise, wind, shadows, light rays, and quality controls.
Emission-driven HDR glow improves bright materials, emissive blocks, lava, and stylized lighting while the beta cycle continues tuning edge cases.
Torch is the active realtime Vexel Build renderer, with clearer Preview and Final modes for day-to-day scene work and finished renders.
Beacon is the planned future path-traced renderer direction. It is visible as a future path, but it is not available in the current build.
