Minecraft has supported ray tracing since an update in December 2020. We'll tell you how to turn it on with your NVIDIA RTX graphics card and where to use it.

The beta release is no longer available, but you can get full RTX ray tracing accelerated with DLSS in the official Windows 10 version of the game.

Minecraft rendered in real time with RTX-accelerated ray tracing, physically based materials and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 can be seen in the new gameplay trailer and screenshots released by NVIDIA.

It's not as dramatic or thorough as full-blown ray tracing is, but these features also scale across platforms to be accessible to as many players as possible.
