Minecraft fully released almost 15 years ago, and in that time, it's more or less looked like the same blocky game we all know and love, but it's now getting a sweeping visual overhaul.

Mojang Studios broke down the 'Vibrant Visuals' update, coming June 17, in a new video that also shows side-by-side comparisons of the game before and after.
