More so than any of the tech talk, which I will leave to you guys...
I’m just really excited that this tech is coming to console Minecraft (I expect PS5 Minecraft to also have this). I’ve never been more tempted to get into PC gaming as I was when the first mods for this began to hit — it was a combination of the technology being truly impressive in this setting, and also absolutely transforming a game I love and making it even cooler.
Granted, while both the official PC implementation, and this, don’t look quite as good as those early mods, they still have that transformative effect.
I really feel like it’ll be like experiencing the Minecraft world for the first time (in a visual sense) all over again. Exploring caves with natural lighting, underwater ruins with light filtering in from above, naturally lit canyons and grottos half in shadow and light, sunsets and sunrises...
I really hope we see the improved visuals (shaders and such) on console as well, to go with it.
