Minecraft Playstation 5 In-Depth Analysis & Feedback Thread

I want to start this doff by thanking Mojang for finally getting around to releasing next generation versions of Minecraft on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. I am currently writing up an in-depth analysis of every version, but with the release on the PS5 Preview last night here are some observations. 
• Minecraft PS5 has no 120hz support. Outputs at 1080p60 or 2160p60 with VRR. No 1440p mode, downsamples 2160p @ 1440p. Same as on PS4. Xbox always runs at 2160p60 now regardless of output resolution.
• Upscaling and Ray Tracing are currently inaccessible
• 36 chunk render distance vs 28 through PS4 BC
• Audio issues with prolonged play. Music and sound effects progressively sound worse. 
• More TNT explosions can go off at once compared to PS4 BC or Any Xbox version. 
• Crashes less. When the game runs out of memory instead of crashing immediately an error occurs and the game displays ~17592186043561mb of available memory before crashing. 
• PS5 has 8gb of available memory displayed like Series X|S. PS4 and PS4 BC use 4gb.
• PS5's framerate is less stable than playing through PS4 BC but is more stable.
• Changing PS5 resolution mid-game doesn't change game resolution until Minecraft is restarted

I'm going to grab some footage later and throw up some comparisons, but I have work very soon! If you found any other differences let me know! Let's give enough proper feedback so Mojang can make the PS5 version the best yet! Also, can we get 120fps Minecraft on console Mojang? :D

    Changing resolution even with restarting the game doesn’t actually do anything, game always outputs at 3840x2160, it only appears like 1080p. Even when it says 1920x1080 at the top after restarting, the fps still performs the same as when it says 3840x2160 at the top.

    For me i have played around in vanilla survival like normal, no stress testing or anything and for the most part it runs good with the the biggest thing i see is frame drops from 60 to 50 at most. To be honest i wasn't looking for anything other that if it was stable, not freezing, not crashing and other things that i had happen on the ps4 version. 

    Now here comes the fun part 

    After playing around on the first seed i thought i would start a new seed, maybe do creative and stress test it a little. But my plan changed when i seen all the addons and texture packs in the resource packs and i could activate them. So activating the pack will of course download it to the preview, but some of them were slow to download and took some time so i only downloaded 18 addons and 2 texture packs. Once i had them download i added all of them to a copy of the seed i made to see what would happen, loading up the world is a lot slower of course but once it loaded it ran good again no crashing or freezing which was nice cause 2 of the addons are the decocraft and furniture from xp games that would make the game crash the most of time if either or both were added to any seed that i was on. Now after just running around to make sure it didn't crash, i opened the inventory which was slower to open and from time to time when digging the blocks would not disappear but use to that on ps4 lol. I only have a little time with the addons on so this is all i have noticed so far.

    Minecraft PS5 would benefit from 4K + 120 HZ support, as well as making use of the adaptive triggers, ray tracing, or the controller speaker. Right now, it doesn’t feel like too large of a leap in terms of an update… Processing may be better, but it is not much of an experiential upgrade. It feels more like a remastered PS4 game than a true next-gen version of the game, just made to slap the PS5 logo onto it. I hope future updates bring more features like these to the table for Minecraft on PS5.

    Hopefully you guys can make the ps5 edition support 120hz because if it’s not that means this is the most useless ps5 edition game ever published!! Thanks.
