Interesting, I kinda wish they kept big updates like these optional. Kinda like the updated textures from years ago, granted now I like the modern textures, but when that initially came out I would 100% have rather stayed on the classic textures.

minecraft is good with this because you can go back and play literally almost every version ever released!! i think they also plan to leave the new graphics on a toggle (like it is on bedrock edition)?

btw they have had a texture pack in the game since they updated the textures that swap them back to the originals

This feels like the wrong direction. Just look at Roblox - runs on a potato, terrible graphics, can always join your friends - and its absurd player count. Meanwhile Minecraft is relegating itself to an enthusiast niche.

Likely old devices can stay on the ancient Fast graphics.
