As you know (and if you didn’t you will in about two seconds) we released Minecraft with RTX Beta in partnership with NVIDIA last month. This release didn’t only add immersive, cutting-edge path-traced ray tracing to Minecraft for Windows 10 – it also brought physically-based textures and six creator worlds that really showed off what this new technology can do. Which is fine, but when I try to show off I’m told to “please stop doing cartwheels in the office, you’ve broken enough cups for one day”.
Since the first six worlds were so cool, we’re going to keep showing off by releasing Creator Worlds Pack #2! This gives you five new creator worlds with new gameplay, new uses of Minecraft with RTX’s ray traced effects, and new physically-based textures that will knock your socks off!
Ready to try Minecraft with RTX Beta for yourself? Get your extra pair of socks on and then check that your PC can handle all of the cool stuff that’s in store for you. You’re going to need a minimum spec GPU of NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060, CPU of Intel Core i5 or equivalent, and at least 8GB RAM. Be sure to download the latest Game Ready Driver to have the best gaming experience – go to GeForce.com/drivers for more information.
Is your hardware all set up? Great! Go here to get more information on how to signup. Join the beta and send your suggestions on feedback.minecraft.net, and of course, please report all bugs on bugs.mojang.com. It’s a beta, so we have several known issues already. You can find the complete list at http://Aka.ms/rtxbeta.
For you early birds already playing the beta, make sure that you have the latest version which improves performance, several ray traced effects, and your entire experience in general. Too vague for you? Fine, here are the specifics:
Improvements to glass transparency, tracing of effects through glass transparencies, and the reflection of transparent blocks on reflective surfaces
Increased performance on the GeForce RTX 2080 at 1920x1080
Adjusted night-time lighting for improved visibility
More accurate per-pixel emissive lighting on low resolution textures, for improved image quality with low-res resource packs
Go to the Windows Store to verify that you're playing the latest build.
Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, let’s take a look at the new worlds that are available:
