v3 (Release Candidate)

Version 3 Preview

Installable Installer

By popular demand, we've created an executable version of the BetterRTX Installer. Here is the first preview of the new Tauri-powered installer. Install EITHER the .exe or .msi.

Features

• Minecraft-inspired GUI to match bedrock.graphics
• Requires only TWO IOBit confirmations: One for delete and one for copy.
• Improved preset creator download support
• Improved .rtpack registration
• Experimental brtx:// protocol registration
• Minecraft graphics options.txt editing
• Installable! (NOTE: This preview does not have an auto-update feature and will need to be uninstalled when the final version is released.)

Security Concerns

This is unsigned beta software. Your PC may flag it as a virus, or installation may be initially blocked by SmartScreen filters.

v2.1.0

.rtpack Registration

This release allows registering the BetterRTX installer as the default application to open .rtpack files. Previous .rtpack support was limited to drag-and-drop manual installation.

A .rtpack is a zip archive which contains the modified shader files. It is an alternative to downloading/distributing BetterRTX presets from https://bedrock.graphics or the installer's preset selection list (API).

How to Register .rtpack

Optionally, select Setup → Register .rtpack extension. After registration, opening a .rtpack file will launch the installer and start the BetterRTX installation process.

Staying Updated

Using the .rtpack extension registration alone will not guarantee using the most up-to-date versions of BetterRTX presets or the installer. To find the latest versions, continue using the following PowerShell command to launch the GUI.

iwr https://bedrock.graphics/installer | iex

BetterRTX 1.3+ Support

Thank you @MADLAD3718 for adding bloom modifications, and the ability to download and import the modified bloom .material.bin file.

More Translations

Thank you @KiRura and @faizul726 for Japanese and Bengali translations.

New Translation Endpoints

Launch the latest version of the installer in your system language:

iwr https://bedrock.graphics/installer/v2/$PsUICulture | iex

(The installer will fallback to English when no translation is available.)

BetterRTX GUI Installer

BetterRTX Installer v2

The BetterRTX Installer script has been rewritten with a few new features:

Installer GUI

The installer's PowerShell script will now launch a simple GUI window.

A 1-minute tutorial video is available in the README

Select a Minecraft instance, select a preset, and click install!

IOBit Unlocker Optional

You need either a side-loaded Minecraft instance or IOBit Unlocker to use the installer. Use software such as MCLauncher or Bedrock Launcher to install Minecraft in an unprotected directory if you do not wish to use IOBit Unlocker.

Drag-and-Drop to Mix-and-Match

You can now drag-and-drop individual .material.bin files onto installer window to copy them into the selected instance(s). Additionally, .mcpack archives which contain .material.bin files can be dropped onto the installer.

bedrock.graphics

Use the following PowerShell command to launch the latest version of the installer:

iwr https://bedrock.graphics | iex

Download individual presets from our official website to use with BetterRenderDragon or to drag-and-drop the preset .mcpack onto the installer window.

---

Version 1 of the BetterRTX Installer (CLI version) still functions and will continue to be supported until further notice. Version 2 is an optional upgrade.
