Till now, Minecraft’s visuals were all about blocks and patterns. With the new upgrade, NVIDIA has added ray-traced reflections, lighting, shadows, and customized realistic materials into the game. Apart from these, gamers will also have access to 6 new RTX worlds made by community creators. It can be downloaded from the Minecraft marketplace for gamers with Minecraft Windows 10. A few of the most talked-about RTX worlds include – Imagination Island, Neon District, and Aquatic Adventure.
With the new update, Minecraft’s visuals will be more realistic. More so because NVIDIA is using its updated AI Upscaler to capture low-resolution images and upscale those into higher resolution.
As of now, the upgrade is in the Beta version, and you can expect some more changes in the near future. It is being speculated that future upgrades will include multiplayer modes, third party cross plays, design improvements, etc.
