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.

    It's not that they don't want to, it's that the Xbox and PlayStation just don't have the right graphics card to handle it. If you upgrade it somehow you should be able to use it.

    Yes please do this please! Now we have open source upscaling on all GPUs, please add that at the same, I believe this is doable. This graphical change is transformative for Minecraft!! I'm sure there was a reason(nVidia?) held this as exclusive for a time but don't let this stop more people enjoying this experience...

    Microsoft clearly want to put Ray tracing into the game as the settings (that are restricted) would not be there, what is taking so long?

    For the people making arguments saying "bEcaUse my phone can't rUN RtX" yeah but PC gets it because some of the pc's are capable so if the Xbox is capable more power to them. Why deny them a positive because you don't benefit from it either. and to add to the discussion, with the workaround that involves joining someone with RTX on and it working I have no idea why Xbox users still don't have RTX. It already works just give them the option. If they a worried about bugs then put it in the experimental features until the bug gets worked out.

    I mean at this point they're gunna face a lawsuit for false advertising as they previewed the xbox and its capabilities with ray tracing on minecraft stating that minecraft will get ray tracing. Some people are already taking steps to boycott and or sue for this. It's getting pretty serious and Microsoft or mojang can't just sit back in silence for much longer or things won't go well for them. This needs addressed PROPERLY and at this point quickly.

    There is no reason for this not to happen! Nxt gen consoles should not be held back by the iPhone 6 (yes still supported by mojang). Give Bedrock the ability and let the players decide if their device can handle it! 

    When playing 4k HDR on my tv no reason this is not on Minecraft

    Kind of pathetic this isn’t a thing yet. Maybe we will finally see it when the next gen consoles come.

    I feel that Xbox 1 should also be given rtx. Minecraft does not allow rtx on the Xbox 1 but here's me playing Jurassic world evolution 2 on the best graphics settings. And max graphics settings for that game is rtx. I just do not get it?

    The best example of the capabilities of the current generation console is CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE II and III. Both PS5 and XBOX SERIES X and S support 4K 120FPS and Ray-Tracing. Not to mention the enduring popularity of MINECRAFT despite the passage of time, with new updates being added regularly. I can confidently say that with the addition of RT to consoles, the gaming experience has significantly improved, as for a fraction of the price, you can enjoy an already fantastic game even more!

    I own a ps5 but cant use all the features on it because it is the ps4 version. If mojang could a dd a ps5 version with ray tracing and 120 fps, that would be much appreciated.

    Good this is just astoundingly slow progress as a programmer myself I think this is a feature not only that helps gameplay but makes it more appealing to attract new players and keep fans happy, adapting games to modern standards is key.

    why would they tease this for so long in the menus only to not release it or update us. i understand vibrant visuals is an improvement but its nothing near the level of RTX or Ray Tracing. when these ideas get brought to the menus but unable to be accessed, its like dangling it in our faces and not letting us have the option. and mojang, if you think it is too powerful for certain consoles, put a warning before toggling it like you have with achievements in creative. such as a pop up saying "warning. depending on the console you have; Xbox Series S or older, you may experience issues such as frame rate drops, crashing, overheating, and slow rendering." something like this would be enough to direct the playerbase to make their own choices while you can warn them about what may happen, at that point its not your responsibility. take notes mojang
