Ray Tracing For Xbox Series X|S/PS5.

It would be nice if Mojang/Microsoft added raytracing and upscaling to Minecraft for Xbox Series X|S/PS5.  It would be added in an update that makes it "Optimized for Series X|S" and a PS5 title (not running on backwards compatibility like it is), and it would enable raytracing and upscaling.  It's currently disabled in the menus(switches added but not usable in 1.16.200).  If these consoles can handle Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Cyberpunk 2077 with high graphics and raytracing, they can handle raytracing in Minecraft.  Mojang, it was asked about 6 months ago and hasn't gotten anything since.  With the new consoles launched, it doesn't make sense not to enable raytracing and upscaling in Minecraft.  Please add raytracing and upscaling.  We know that the other optimized games run at 1080p with raytracing + high graphics and are then upscaled to 4K.  It without a doubt can do the same on Minecraft.

    As well as things like 120fps, higher resolution 4k maybe 8k in a few years if that ever takes off, fidelity fx, directml, all that good stuff.

     

    Edit: Also they got 'Fabulous Graphics' on Java, they never added it to bedrock.

    Minecraft is a bit different from other ray-traced games because it uses full path-tracing for every lighting technique. This means that there are a lot more rays and ray bounces to calculate than other ray traced games such as Spiderman Miles Morales or Cyberpunk 2077. Due to this, the game heavily depends on upscaling to created a playable experience on lower end hardware. Currently AMD's ray acceleration hardware is significantly less powerful than Nvidia's and AMD haven't released anything to compete with DLSS, so a proper implementation of Minecraft RTX on those consoles would probably require AMD to release a DLSS competitor.

    Why not? Some people have these consoles, but maybe they do not have a PC or do not have it great enough PC to run it (Not great enough Graphics Card, exc).

    Along with that also make adaptive triggers with different intensity for each block and different haptics for blocks you walk on for the PS5, please. I think that would be taking Minecraft to the next level and many people would buy it, It's almost like the PS5 controller was made for Minecraft.

    I'm sure that the ps5 could handle ray tracing and hopefully they dont delay the ray tracing update for PlayStation since the bedrock version took ages to release on PlayStation.

    Still waiting for something like this to hit consoles, I mean having mod or addon support for consoles just like MCPE does should be nice aswell. (Even if it has to be monitored approved) MC Java & even MCBR has shaders developed by 1 or more dev’s and Microsoft/Mojang Should be able to do it too with an entire team. The Marketplace has custom worlds that has features that you can’t even use in your own world, but we pay for it to just use in that one main world, which isn’t fair. Also, alot of MP Content shows shaders in their thumbnails which is false advertising...
    (Thinking that you’re getting the good stuff with the world but aren’t.) I do understand that things takes time and the company has bigger things to focus on at the moment with plenty of projects and bug fixes but in reality, don’t advertise stuff for one system and not the others. RTX, DXR, or even Render Dragon Shaders through shaders from the community, should be an option. Heck put shader packs on the Marketplace for a good decent price lol. I play on Console mostly than PC Java/BR since my main world is on PS4/5. But I feel like they are listening but the request seems so low that its dumb to not implement. Shaders is an eye catching feature to try out on any one of the players main worlds. We all know that it’s possible for Last/Next Gen systems (PS4/PS5/XB1/Series X|S but it is what it is I guess I’m not mad hating on anyone or anything, just expressing my rant XD but I’m still waiting like everyone else!

    Giving some updates in this mojang would be great! Please do your best to bring ray tracing to wider user base, not just those with Nvidia rtx cards.

    Why not Microsoft releasing a whole new minecraft game rather than leave us struggling with uncoming updates. I'm sure lots of people will be willing to pay another 20-30 quid or even more if minecraft finally upgrades its resolution more than bits.

    Omg this should be done for yesterday. Minecraft with raytracing is another level of immersion. PLEASE, MOJANG. I can't play on our Realm with ray tracing cause my friends playing on consoles can't do it. It must be the same experience for all of us or it's just another game between me and them. Light behaves totally differently when rtx is on, specially in low light ambients. PLEASE, PEOPLE

    I mean even shaders will be enough for me. I am not even asking for ray tracing. I waited for like 4 years since I got ps4, which I think is still capable of running shaders just fine.

    The fact that mobile devices get a higher render distance than my Xbox series x really aggravates me.

    There is a video on Digital Foundry YouTube channel where they were shown Minecraft ray tracing tech demo running on Xbox series x. It passed a year as it came out so it seems strange to me that mojang didn’t released it. It can be possible that they are trying to make it run on ps5 because ps5 have different graphics api. It would be nice if they kept players informed about the state of ray tracing on next gen consoles.

    can i sue microsoft for misleading information? if you get the specific hardware to use a feature, you should be able to use it! my parents spent $500 for a ps5 and no ray tracing?

    I agree with this so much, every time I see this i'm like “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.”

    This needs to be a thing, I that it is agree upon by many that we all bought these Xbox’s expecting Minecraft with enhanced graphics, and we were all saddened to find out it wasn’t even been announced. Also why would mojang even show us a glimpse of this if they weren’t planning on bringing this to life? I understand that it was to show what the Xbox could do but why wouldnt they choose like forza to show the raytracing?

    I saw that the Minecraft preview beta has a X/S symbol on it now an was happy thinking it just happened. NOPE.... I just dont get it. Im hoping that it's the first step to unlocking Ray Tracing and Upscale. Please Mojang...... Please any information would be amazing. Since i got my series X and seen that the option is still locked i have been boycotting MC untill these features are unlocked. Anyone with me.

    The PS5 / Series consoles launched a year and a half ago, it's honestly pretty ridiculous how long this is taking, even more so with no official answer, people here just getting ignored...

    Next gen consoles like Xbox Series X|S or PS5 should indeed have ray tracing and the up-scaling features. It's almost been three years and still no next generation optimisations. I bought a Xbox Series X for great high-quality, 4K HDR graphics not just "Fancy" Minecraft graphics. Included in the optimisations should be higher render distance and more anti-aliasing (that should go up to at least 64+ chunks, or even 96 like on some PCs). Everyone agrees that Minecraft needs this long waited upgrade. Again, it's been almost three years so why not?
