Microsoft says ray tracing was only 'inadvertently' added to Xbox Minecraft preview

Just a few days ago, we were excited about the news that Microsoft was trying to test ray tracing in Minecraft on Xbox. However, calling it a success is nearly impossible due to the challenges we witnessed in testing.

MicrosoftIt seems is also aware of this, as it now says "Inadvertently included for Xbox "Prototype code for ray tracing support on console" has been removed. The Minecraft team confirmed this on Twitter. # A tweet from the Minecraft Team claims that the addition of ray tracing in the Xbox Minecraft preview is a bug.

"A Preview build of Minecraft previously available to Xbox Insiders inadvertently included prototype code for ray tracing support on Xbox consoles," the tweet said. "This early prototype code has been removed from preview and does not indicate any immediate plans to bring ray tracing support to consoles."

If you are one of the people testing ray tracing in Minecraft on Xbox consoles One, you'll know that the process can be demanding and complicated due to very limited ray tracing support.

Features in preview builds of Minecraft that are only accessible to Xbox Insiders require the use of additional resource packs (which cannot be downloaded and installed in the Xbox version of Minecraft) and workarounds.

Specifically, you need to enable the package and host a Minecraft session on your Windows PC, allowing Xbox players to join in and use the ray tracing feature. This will allow you to turn ray tracing support on or off via the settings menu.

Still, the teases we got two years ago about the possibility of ray tracing on the Xbox Series X have just exploded. Given the apparent "bug" in this version, it looks like Mojang is still far away from its actual plans to support ray tracing on the Xbox version of Minecraft.
