![]() This update would have brought to Minecraft features such as volumetric lighting, enhanced water, and reflective textures, dynamic shadows, edge highlighting, and a lot more. Considering this pack was announced as a way to showcase the power of Scorpio (Xbox One X) and that it will now never see the light of day, to say it’s disappointing, is a bit of an understatement. Posting on the Minecraft blog, Microsoft has indicated that the update is “too technically demanding to implement as planned” and has been canceled.įurther, the company says that they were not happy with the performance across devices for this update, leading to it being scrapped. Unfortunately, the graphics pack has been canceled and will never be released. Called the Super Duper Graphics Pack, the update would significantly improve the visual assets of the game and add a new dimension to the blocky universe. This is an insanely huge and wasted project/opportunity for them to show what Minecraft can be capable of.Back at E3 2017, Microsft showed off what was going to be the next major update for Minecraft. MJ could have gone out to fly these guys in and personally work with them to make their own shaderpacks work in tandem with Minecraft BE's code. Those two are good at their craft, and manage to further optimize their new versions of their respective shaderpacks each time, as well as offering you different versions, depending on your PC specs (they even have lite versions for potato specs). Just think of how much easier this could have been, had they contacted modders like Sildur or Sonic Ether. It made us all happy, and now console folk will be able to enjoy that addition when they get to play it as well. The devs saw this within a couple of days and decided to make that mod baseline within the game itself. I gave kudos to Two Point dev's when a modder came up with an easy solution for copy+pasting rooms in Two Point Hospital. They could have done that easily, but for some reason, many a dev doesn't seem to like an outside source telling them how to do their job, or the right way to solve a problem. Meanwhile, I'm still here looking at how laggy my Switch version of BE plays =/ You can get some good texturepacks like Sphax BD on consoles as well, so there's that option.

For this reason, we're stopping development on the pack, and looking into other ways for you to experience Minecraft with a new look. ![]() We realise this is disappointing to some of you – there was a lot of enthusiasm for Super Duper from inside and outside the studio – but unfortunately, we aren’t happy with how the pack performed across devices. Super Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft but, unfortunately, the pack proved too technically demanding to implement as planned.
