Minecraft is getting a very pretty upgrade with the beta for Minecraft with RTX. The ray tracing tech makes even the modest blocky textures of Minecraft's visual style look vibrant. Nvidia has announced that it's working with well-known creators in the Minecraft community to make new environments that show off the tech, and it unveiled five new worlds for the Minecraft marketplace today.

Hilltop Lifestyle (PearlescentMoon) is an outdoor map based on an Italian hilltop village. Egg Hunt (Feed the Beast) is a mini-game set underground in a cave full of traps and secrets, tasking you with finding the eggs in record time. Medieval RTX (Aurelien_Sama) is a survival game set in a village settled below ancient ruins. The Dark Village RTX (Wyld) is another survival game set in a deep forest filled with secrets and puzzles. Finally, The Observer RTX (IamSp00n) is an adventure that has you exploring your way out of an entombed vault and discovering the secrets of the people who lived there.
