Development Update - The biggest Minecraft RTX project ever made.
🕑 Added 2023-03-27 20:20:14 +0000 UTCSince November 2022 I've been dedicating most of my development time towards what will become the biggest Minecraft RTX project ever created. It's required a lot of time and effort to make this project possible, hence my pseudo-hiatus. Unfortunately there isn't much more I can say about the project until we get closer to our release date, but it will be well worth the wait.
Aside from those news, I've also been working on updating the Candles Fix to include candle cakes, updating Chroma Tech and Dynamic Lighting, and creating a new Falling Blocks Fix addon for 1.19.70+ compatibility. You should see those posted on the patreon pretty soon.
Defined PBR is going to be getting a substantially expansive update pretty soon as well. One of the biggest improvements this update is bringing is an over 60% reduction in resource pack size, without removing any features! Most of this improvement comes from a new texture output format that I'm using to reduce the file size of every single material texture in the pack.
More fixes for Ray Tracing bugs are coming too! With some help from a user on the Minecraft RTX discord I've been able to fix all of the Decorated Pot z-fighting issues, which will lead to a much better experience using the new 1.20 features. It's still highly dissapointing that Mojang has officially decided not to fix the bug themselves, but the community has thankfully been able to outperform them in this case.
Aside from those features, nearly all nature blocks are getting remastered PBR textures to better suit them, and support for 1.20's new blocks will also be included. There's lots to be in anticipation for, but keep an eye out in a few weeks for the months long project I've been working on. The team and I are very excited to show this off to the community!
I'd like to thank all of you for sticking with the Patreon these last few months as well. Balancing University work with project development has become increasingly challenging these last few months and you all have significantly helped in making it possible. You are appreciated!

It will be entirely intercompatible with all PBR resource packs!

Hi! I love the teasers in the Minecraft RTX discord! Will this project's improvements be available for other RTX texture pack creators to use in their own projects? Sometimes I like to mix it up between Defined PBR, Lumen, Kelly's, etc. Thanks! 🎉

At one point I had gotten in direct contact with the technical realms lead over this. They told me that they would be looking into it but it seems they haven't done so yet. I still don't know what causes it.

More information will be revealed on my socials in the coming weeks. At the moment our team isn't sure whether we should do a few teases first or just fully reveal it as soon as possible.

Do you know when your project might be announced formally?

Any idea when they will fix Realms RTX? Trying to play with my kids since I refuse to let them have gaming PC's. Ha ha
