You’ve been able to play Minecraft with RTX for a while now, but it’sbeen in betafor quite some time. to access it, you needed special access via the Xbox Insider Hub and Microsoft’s Xbox Insider Program.
Now it’s available to all Windows 10 users. All you need to do is purchase and download the latest version ofMinecraft for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store(assuming you don’t already own it). you’re able to also access it viaXbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Ray tracing is turned on by default and you’ll now see your Minecraft worlds enhanced with a special Physically Based Rendering texture pack which adds even more to the graphical improvements.
Nvidia says that the combination of this tech will allow players to “… build incredible scenes with lighting, shadows and effects running at previously-unseen levels of detail and accuracy…”
To help you make the most of the new ray traced visuals, Nvidia has worked with creators to build 15 free ray-traced worlds. These are said to offer their own unique textures, designs and gameplay mechanics that Minecraft enthusiasts will love. You can find and download these RTX friendly worlds in the Minecraft Marketplace in-game.
Nvidia has also worked with Microsoft and Mojang to addDLSS compatibilityto Minecraft ensuring that even with improved graphics, gamers still get a great experience. If you own a GeForce RTX 3080 or GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, Nvidia says you’ll be able to enjoy ray-traced Minecraft at 4K at well over 60FPS.
