Minecraft will get Ray Tracing feature soon

Mojang, in partnership with NVIDIA, revealed that their most iconic game of all time, Minecraft, will have a Ray Tracing implementation in the game very soon. Also, they announced that they will have a new game engine called Render Dragon.

Devices that run on Windows 10 and supports DirectX R with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU will be able to experience the Ray Tracing capabilities inside Minecraft.

“With the capabilities of this tech, you’ll be able to experience your Minecraft worlds with realistic lighting, vibrant colors, , realistic water that reflects and refracts naturally, and emissive textures that light up. What does ‘emissive’ mean? It means you’re about to see Minecraft like you’ve never seen it before!”

The patch will come in a beta state which will allow players to enable the “Optional graphics with RTX” feature in the screen settings of the game.
