Minecraft with RTX Launches for Windows Q0 this Very Day

2 min read


In the spring of this year, Minecraft developer Mojang and gaming tech company Nvidia announced that the sandbox game was getting a new feature allowing for a huge visual overhaul. The new feature is dubbed Minecraft with RTX the new feature was first released as an initial beta launch in April, but its full launch has landed on the market. Minecraft with RTX is available on Windows 10 this very day.



Mojang announced that ray tracing has been officially launched in Minecraft for Windows 10. The technology is powered by NVIDIA and Minecraft's Render Dragon technology. "Players will have the chance to experience Minecraft in a new way (sorry), with brighter blocks and emissive pixel. Water reflections cast shadows, rich global illumination, and accurately cast shadows. Why do I have to explain it using fancy words when you can simply watch an instructional video that has beautiful images?"



The studio has unveiled a brand-new footage reel that showcases the block builder's glorious new ray traced visuals which you can view below. The reel includes before-and after shots of various RTX enabled environments. It shows how this feature can alter the entire game's visuals.



Mojang also states that in order to use the new feature on Windows 10, you will need a GPU capable using ray tracing. For instance GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. Players who get Minecraft with RTX up and running will "by default, everything will be enhanced by a specially-designed physically-based rendering texture, which interacts with the ray traced effects to further enhance the experience" the developer states.



You can find Minecraft Ray Traced Worlds at this link. Go to the Minecraft marketplace to purchase some to add to your game. The latest update comes with two new free worlds, as well: Colosseum RTX, which is available now, as well as Dungeon Dash RTX, which is "coming in the near future".



If you're looking to creating ray traced worlds yourself, you can head to the Nvidia website to download a starter pack and guide that will help you get started. You can also check out the FAQs and learn more about the new update.
