Minecraft: Super Duper Graphics Pack Ceasing Development
- Thread starter elzeus
- Start date
Maybe Nvidia is clever and builds RTX and high resolution textures in it, like those fan mods. Minecraft looks unbelievable with them.
honestly not surprised that people would use this news to spit their hate fueled by console war but it's very funny to see people getting so angry over a Minecraft texture pack
anyway I was already not expecting it to ever release with how long has it been since the Bedrock edition released. It'd probably have been for Xbox One X only which wouldn't have been useful for me in any case.

Wow, this alongside the Better Together Update is kinda what grabbed my attention back then and get into Minecraft after abandoning it for years.
Really disappointed that they outright cancelled it, especially after last year where they mentioned having to rework the entire graphics pipeline to accommodate it. It really seemed that they worked hard to make it work. I really would've liked to at least see the texture pack without the fancy lighting effects released; or at least some of the visual element touches they wanted to introduce, like the edge highlight on blocks.
Oh well. Maybe next gen they can come back to this concept and get it working. I still think some signficant visual upgrades and overhauls would do the game some good.

The way it's written seems to suggest the problem was that they couldn't make it run on whatever low spec platform they're still supporting and it was a situation of either every platform gets it or none gets it.
Whatever may have been the case I'd love to read about it, but if that is really the reason then they won't talk publicly about it because it would end up in drama / platform wars and it's a worse situation than just canceling.

Yeah lmao how dare these idiots care about something that I don't personally care about.
If this is just a graphics update, and it's not working across devices, I am wondering if they could have just released it as an XBX/PC exclusive feature?
Maybe it would be too difficult to support two separate styles of graphics in one code base, but in theory, it would be a nice perk to playing Minecraft on a Windows device without compromising the multi-platform nature of the series.

That was for the Bedrock edition.... Nothing at all to do with this.
Honestly, I'm anticipating Minecraft 2 for next gen Xbox and windows 10. At some point in development they probably felt it was basically a hop and a skip from building a whole new game considering how old some of the stuff is, and they switched gears
