Guess I'll have to buy the Win10 version just so I can have something in my library that uses ray tracing. Gotta put that RTX 2080 Super to work.

If you bought Java Minecraft before October something something 2018 (I think?), you can get a Windows 10 copy for free when you log into Mojang's site :teach:

As to the news, meh. Neat I guess, but not a game RTX would benefit much from. Custom shaders and texture packs, on the other hand, are a must.

Oh, neat, I'll have to look. I've had the Java version for... a long time.

Edit - Had to look because I know I've posted about it here, found a KYT thread about me talking about my Minecraft server from 2013. So at least that long ago, probably longer.

Literally days left to do it lmao. What timing, jeez. :hrth:

I wonder how much of a performance decrease there will be with raytracing on.

If only this was the Java version, then I might care some.

But what does it matter, it's still just the same old blocky voxel-based visuals. That's like putting a body kit on a Ford Pinto.

i you do not like the pixel look you could do this on Minecraft Java with a shader

People mocking this for it being only Minecraft are missing the the point. Much like Quake II RTX, the simple visuals serve as a good way to emphasise the raytracing effects specifically which can often be less evident in more visually advanced games (Metro Exodus, Control etc.). It's being used to demonstrate the technology.

Plus Minecraft has the unique advantage of being manipulatable by the player. You can directly change and manipulate the raytracing effects with blocks, placing light sources etc. I don't even like Minecraft, but just check out the videos of this in action - it's really impressive when taken out of the context of the noise of more modern games.

Aww man, I knew my RTX card would come in handy one day.

they picked the worst game ever to add RT to. it will be absolutely pointless with RT!! you don't add RT to shitty lego brick building games with shitty blocky graphics!! :rofl2:

You can get RayTracing on Java. In fact, with shaders, you get an even more complete integration as PathTracing. Check out the SEUS PTGI Shaders

i mean you could run shaders with optifine and the closest would be the SEUS shader pack

That is not official though. OptiFine breaks a whole lot of stuff too.

You misspelled fixes.

I don't know how quoting works, but another user said this;
