Thank to this resource pack, I can finally see the beauty of RTX in competitive multiplayer skywar game

Although, I don't really recommend this for that, for some reason, minecraft RTX really destroy my internet performance. It really lags me out, and sometimes, outright disconnect me from the server

Still, this is a very good resource pack if you want vanilla RTX enabled everywhere on minecraft!

This is one of the best RTX recource packs out there. Makes the game seem much more vibrant and real while keeping the classic look of minecraft. Pack works with 1.17, but am hoping it gets updated with the new blocks in time for 1.18.

this is very bad because the rtx feature doesn't work on android mcpe 1.17.34.02. please for developers add the rtx feature in mcpe 1.17.34.02

RobtheRaichu October 13, 2021 at 9:12 pm

RTX won't work on Android. You need a computer with a GPU that supports ray tracing.

Make it so in controls you can change what button to turn it on and of. and do that for controller controls.

superJOSHgaming August 16, 2021 at 10:11 pm

Love it but can you make an update so that the 1.17 blocks fully work with Ray-Tracing?

AshlynMeep July 31, 2021 at 1:27 pm

Love the textures and the features, my only complaint is that banners become plain white with nothing on them and horses lose their textures until a saddle or horse armour is put onto them.

I really like this. Water is beautiful underwater. I was hoping for a realistic surface though. overall very good

kaizux June 29, 2021 at 9:28 pm

Is it normal for the whole screen to be black? I can hit things and see them drop their particles but I can't see a single thing.

kaizux June 29, 2021 at 10:14 pm

update: thought I have an rtx, turns out I have an gtx 1060. but I updated the drivers which should now allow for racetracing. even if my card allows racetracing it will still n ot work unless I have one of the drivers mentioned?

Synister July 11, 2021 at 7:58 pm

your gtx 1060 will never be able to run ray tracing, even with driver updates. you need an rtx card (2060 or better) to be able to run this at all, its not gonna work for you

kaizux July 13, 2021 at 12:25 am

big sad man. Was hoping it would since it said it enables ray tracing. Scalpers suck

kaizux July 13, 2021 at 12:25 am

thanks

Cyruz777 June 29, 2021 at 3:41 pm

Good!

Terradite June 14, 2021 at 5:08 am

Does this work in 1.17.0.2

SgtBigBottoms June 22, 2021 at 4:37 pm

Yes, but the new blocks aren't updated. Still waiting

Ghostursa June 23, 2021 at 9:36 am

I thought it did. I've been testing RTX packs in an Amethyst cave to test if they have the latest blocks, and this has been the only one to treat the gemstone as anything but stone. Normal map have a fun glitter to it with minor reflections, while the height map version reflects like diamond but tints the light bouncing off with a slight purple hue.
I hope this isn't a glitch, because it's a fun affect.

spillmic June 11, 2021 at 5:41 am

I can’t use this on my realm please make one that looks like this that is usable on realms

Ghostursa June 22, 2021 at 3:59 pm

I just installed it on a realm, and it does work. BUT, it only seems to work with the default height map and it will not activate the toggle for the pixelated height map (which determines things like reflectiveness on some surfaces). It would be nice to either have 2 different packs (one for each) to get around this, or fix whatever isn't liked by the realm setting.

kic883 June 10, 2021 at 9:23 pm

This is great !
I have a RTX 3070, it works fine for me.
although there are some detail need to improve,
e.g. - maybe the water is too dark?
- Illager Banner‌ became a whiteboard

Anyway, look forward to the next upgrade.

Lil Gamer Playz June 08, 2021 at 3:21 pm

Do you think of providing 1.17 support (and possibly in the future 1.18) to this texture pack? Altogether fantastic looking texture pack though and perfect for what I want in a RTX texture pack.

SgtBigBottoms June 08, 2021 at 4:09 pm

I would also like to know this (Nicinator please)
