Microsoft seemed to have begun testing raytracing in Minecraft earlier this week, but it was actually a mistake. The feature has been removed. just another wordpress site



After news of its inclusion, the feature was removed from an update that was a preview for Xbox consoles. The update featured an raytracing preview for both Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, however, according to Microsoft it shouldn't have been introduced in the first place. just another wordpress site



The company confirmed that the previous Minecraft Preview build made available to Xbox Insiders inadvertently contained prototype code to support raytracing for Xbox consoles. "This early prototype code was removed from Preview and doesn't signal near future plans to add raytracing support to consoles."



Inadvertently, the previous Minecraft Preview build made available to Xbox Insiders included prototype code for raytracing on Xbox consoles. This early prototype code has been removed from Preview and doesn't signal near future plans to add support for raytracing to consoles.



This is right even though they're currently testing it, it doesn't mean Minecraft will get raytracing on Xbox consoles any time soon - even though Microsoft announced raytracing support two years ago.



Although Microsoft has now nixed the update and explained that it won't be coming to your Xbox consoles anytime soon, it does mean that Microsoft is working on the feature. It could eventually be available on Xbox consoles.



Raytracing is currently only available in Minecraft when playing on Windows and is enhanced by Nvidia's DLSS upscaling process that helps improve frame rates. This is an examination of Minecraft with raytracing on and off.



In addition, a long-lost Minecraft update was discovered by Minecraft historians. The Secret Saturday update (Alpha 1.1.1) appeared for only 3 hours back in the year 2010.



The mysterious nature of the latest Raytracing Update raises the question as to whether Xbox users will ever be able to save the now-defunct Minecraft version. Is auto-update making it obsolete?
