Could you build this?
No Running Java shader packs on Bedrock's D3D12 renderer requires deep graphics engine knowledge, reverse engineering of Minecraft internals, and translating GLSL shaders to HLSL. This is specialized graphics programming that vibe coding can't substitute for.
What it would actually take: The stack would be C++ with DirectX 12, shader cross-compilation (GLSL to HLSL/SPIR-V), and hooks into Bedrock's renderer, which is closed and changes with each release. It needs graphics engineers who know both the Iris/OptiFine pipeline and the Bedrock render architecture.
