Ten years have passed since the game's launch and Minecraft continues to be one of the most popular games of our time and now, it's getting a revamp with ray tracing. This is the holy grail of gaming graphics, which simulates the physical behavior of light to provide real-time, cinematic quality rendering to games.



NVIDIA first announced it was working on these realistic graphics for Minecraft last year , and now they're set to roll out to Windows players on April 16th. The beta version is currently in development. release will offer the same Minecraft single-player experience but with reflections that are ray-traced, shadows lighting, and custom realistic materials. Plus, you'll get to explore six new RTX worlds created by community creators. These worlds include Aquatic Adventure and Imagination Island, as well as Neon District. They are free for Minecraft Windows 10 gamers who use the Minecraft Marketplace.



The release with a focus on visuals also includes physically-based rendering (PBR). This means that surfaces appear more real regardless of whether they are rough matte stone or glossy smooth Ice. NVIDIA's NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 is available to help with the heavy lifting needed to power this. This latest version of NVIDIA's AI upscaler makes use of RTX tensor cores to take images with lower resolutions and then increase it to your desired resolution, supposedly doing better than the original feature that launched alongside NVIDIA's RTX cards.



Of course, because it's in beta, you should expect some issues to arise at this point. Certain features aren't included in the beta version, for instance, such as multiplayer realms and third-party servers, or cross-play. There are still a few design issues, and some dimensions aren't yet optimized for the ray tracing. Meanwhile, banners are black and slime mobs have no face - the sort of issues which will be fixed in the near future. The official release date hasn't yet been confirmed. Feah Developers would like to hear from the community about the beta release.
