We'll try and get further clarification from Microsoft as soon as possible. There is still no planned launch time frame for Super Duper as of writing. Update April 26, 2019: We've checked in with some of our sources within the Minecraft team and it sounds as though work is still ongoing, however the project has developed a little further beyond being a mere "graphics pack," and has ended up requiring a significant re-write of the Bedrock graphics engine to accomodate features like ray tracing. We'll update you as soon as we know more. Long story short, don't expect it any time soon (as of writing). Those fixes are much closer than Super Duper :)Īs such, it looks as though the Super Duper graphics pack may not even make it out in 2018, possibly pushed back into 2019. The gameplay team has been hard at work on the Update Aquatic, while the rest of the Engine team has been working on the Switch release alongside fixing performance issues on Xbox One. Performance, even on the Xbox One X, was between bad and inconsistent during all the internal play sessions we had.It will come, but we don't have a date yet. The graphics part of our engine was quite honestly simply not built for this, and when we tried to put all the new features in piece by piece things went bad. The Graphics Team is still hard at work on this (it ended up being a ton more work than initially anticipated). The pack is being built for the Bedrock version of Minecraft, specifically with high-end Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One X in mind.Ī Minecraft developer has confirmed that the graphics engine for the Bedrock edition of Minecraft (which runs on Xbox One, Windows 10, Nintendo Switch, mobile devices, and VR) had to be re- written in order to support these new features. The Minecraft Super Duper graphics pack has been delayed somewhat, originally expected to launch in 2017. Walmart listed the Super Duper graphics pack at $10 before the listing was pulled, so expect the price to be somewhere in that region. While Minecraft for Xbox One X and Windows 10 PC will pick up 4K and HDR features for free, the Super Duper graphics pack which includes some of the more advanced features such as volumetric lighting and texture updates will be a paid content expansion. 3D models for objects that were previously just flat textures, such as rail tracks and foliage.Reflective textures for blocks, adding highlights to diamond blocks for example.Dynamic shadows with object edge highlighting.Enhanced water textures, complete with reflective surfaces.Here are some of the ways it will enhance the game.
While the free update will bring 4K and HDR support to Xbox One X and Windows 10 PC versions of the game, the Super Duper graphics pack is an optional expansion that will change Minecraft's iconic look to add a little modern flair. Microsoft was keen to emphasize that the Super Duper graphics pack is entirely optional.
