February 27, 2020
Gamers have always existed in a plane where playing opens up a whole new world of freedom. In the virtual world, you can be any character and create legends and be limited only by your imagination. This way of gameplay has opened up a niche called sandbox games and many game companies are developing new and innovative ways to create worlds of your own. Still, there is no forgetting where it started and that is with Minecraft.
One of the best-selling games in the world right now, Minecraft presents gaming in a different light, trading in lush graphics and modern fares for a purely gameplay-driven experience. Minecraft is famous for its blocky, low-resolution style visuals that resembles Lego bricks with extremely exaggerated pixel sizes. The gameplay of Minecraft revolves around a simple concept: creation and destruction. Combining different elements in the game, players can create simple blocks into creative, complex and sweeping cities limited only by the player’s imagination. Education institutions have realized the benefits of Minecraft for learning and have made it as a teaching tool or courseware due to its free nature of allowing creative thinking and development.

Minecraft allows infinite possibilities when creating works in the game but your platform of choice or system has to keep up with the graphical requirements of laboriously-intense, mega projects such as the ones above. Minecraft started life as a light, resource friendly game utilizing low-resolution to its advantage but this year, the creator of Minecraft, Mojang, together with NVIDIA has launched raytracing support for the game.

Realistic shadows and lightings provides a unique gaming experience and provides certain opportunities outside of eyecandy to really improve gameplay such as reflection through metal surfaces that gamers can utilize to their advantage or sheer blinding light from your flashlight disabling the opponents viewport, obstruction a clear line-of-sight, just as how realistic, HID lights should behave. As cliché as it sounds, sniper scope glares from afar will cue you in to sniper locations just like they do in the movies. Minecraft is now in the league of games feature RTX real-time raytracing to present a vividly lit world unlike anything before.
