it starts in about 15minsI'm excited to try this. How do you actually get into the beta?
edit: Found it. Gotta launch the Xbox Insider app in Windows 10, then look for the Minecraft beta.
It looks great, but don't see how this changes the game, aside from making it lose it's "simplistic charm".
He does. In minecraft he just does not exist unless you choose the 3rd person option.

Have you tried inviting other users into your world to test it out? Not just third-person view, but multi-player.He does. In minecraft he just does not exist unless you choose the 3rd person option.
Like a lot of FPS games, minecraft cheats to make its first person and has separate non existing first person models and culls away a 3rd person model.
I presume in the future they will have to change the way minecraft works so that you can see yourself in reflections (but even then it would not line up perfectly since the first person view is just a hack anyway).
I played a bit with the developers while interviewing them. You can see their models reflected in the path tracing and them bouncing light of themselves, just not your own model since (like I mentioned) Minecraft cheats like a lot of games. They will have to make a hacky work around to have the thirdperson model also render at the same time.Have you tried inviting other users into your world to test it out?

Yeah, the combo of DLSS and RT is really interesting, since the performance was always the killer for RT. Still, DF have a hefty rig there but DLSS is sure to get more updates to performance.DLSS with raytracing very interesting video.. Also their rig is top of the line :)
Sooo I got the beta but where do I enable RTX? I don't see the option anywhere
I guess? The stupid MS store says it's up to date when I look for updates
There really is! SOme amazing uses of the RT.
I recommend looking at the FAQ:Sooo I got the beta but where do I enable RTX? I don't see the option anywhere

I was in the wrong beta channel. Fixed. Gonna try this out, thanks!
I am sure people will downplay it but its really is amazing to see in games.

edit: Oh my god, now I'm pending approval for entering the RTX beta. Fuck!
Ive been like this for 15 minutes :/
What a stupid way to enter an open beta
I'm getting this too. I have an RTX card so I guess I just need to be patient.

I actually managed to get all the way to the point of selecting RTX beta before it gave me an error earlier, now I can't even get past the insider content screen
You can now make puzzles and gameplay entirely based upon the principles of light. That is a pretty big change. If you dramatically change a game's lighting, you change the gameplay quite a lot.

Yeah, you can actually make a movie projector with some block programming :)I can't wait until people start building movies out of pistons and redstone programming.
Wait, so I can't use RTX on one of my own worlds? :(You already got a response, but the biggie to clarify: once you're defintively *IN* the RTX version of the beta, go into its Minecraft marketplace and search for "RTX." You should get some world options that are all labeled RTX and are all free to download. Loading these worlds will turn RTX on by default. You need their specific RTX resource packs (which come with the world downloads) for the RTX options to turn on.
lol I found the anti-Dennis. Or inverse-Dennis if you will.It looks great, but don't see how this changes the game, aside from making it lose it's "simplistic charm".
