Insane Minecraft Ray Tracing World Tour

Hey everybody in welcome on back to Minecraft we’re back here in the Singapore survival world again and we are going to be doing something a little bit different in today’s episode as you can see we have some new fancy schmancy shaders on today and these are ray

Tracing shaders I would love to take a tour around our world with ray tracing I think it’d be so much fun to walk around here see everything that we can find and as you can see inside of our Palace right now the light is totally different depending on where you are standing and

I think it is so very cool there’s a little bit of a difference between these shaders and the ones I normally use but anyways I wanted to just take a scenic tour around our world today and do an impromptu world tour because these things have been absolutely amazing to

Me I’ve been wandering around quite a bit with them they are the voyager shaders they are currently in a beta version and you do need a graphics card that was able to support our TX shader ray tracing all that fancy stuff that I don’t know the proper word for but

Anyways let’s start wandering around I thought this would be an awesome place to start here because we have all of this sugarcane and there’s so many areas for the light to follow through we did swap over to spectator mode so we can move a little bit more slowly throughout

This area but as you can see it’s still kind of a work in progress thing with how it interacts with the sugarcane it looks like but overall you can see the little different rays of light coming from everywhere and I think that stuff is so very cool I will say though these

Are very atmospheric of all the ones I’ve looked at I’ve looked at quite a few ray tracing shader packs to see which one I thought we would enjoy the most here on the channel and this one is what’s the one I came across that I

Enjoyed the most but as you can see we jumped through this little gap right here everything instantly just gets darker and the light outside is so much brighter and as you enter into the rooms it totally changes the atmosphere I cannot wait for more of this stuff to be

Officially added into our Minecraft world here because there’s so many different options that you can use this for and I think it’s really gonna make these worlds amazing I – oh that the Nvidia one coming out here is going to have support for all of the different platforms and everything

That because I think it is so so cool to come through all these places specifically I’m curious to see how these interact with the nether and how they’re going to be doing that one I will say though everything kind of gets a little muted I feel like the

Atmosphere side of things goes a little bit stronger than anything else and you lose a lot of those good contrasting colors that you see in a lot of the regular shaders like normally I’m using silver shader which I personally find as my own favorite one out of all of them

Because I love the contrast that it brings the shadows are a little bit darker and the colors get a little bit more yellowy and bright and happy in it there’s so much more going on with them but I these are really cool these ones I love because the clouds actually have

Volumetric clouds inside of it on top of them so if the Sun goes behind the clouds like it is right now you’ll actually see it start to get darker in this area like they ship clouds are actually casting a shadow on the landscape which i think is very very

Cool and this whole place this whole desert village that we’re at here you can see the clouds coming over off to the left side here there’s just so much darker I think that type of stuff is really cool that we can add into the world and just make it so much more

Interesting I think the desert is a very light and bright place and we probably aren’t getting too many cool shadows throughout here because we don’t have that many trees we got a good collection of palm trees but overall there’s not too many I was thinking we could come

Over here real fast and check out down in the Oasis well we are under cloud coverage unfortunately I think it should look pretty dang cool down here you know what with the clouds and everything down here it is pretty freakin cool I gotta say this is really really nice I was not

Really expecting how different it would be here with all the clouds and everything as you can see as we’re approaching this dock down here it’s pretty cool look in the reflection off of the water and everything it’s so so very cool I like how these the water

Still feels minecraft II it doesn’t feel like a super fast moving water that we normally see in shader packs where everything is built up like waves of the ocean like this is supposed to be a little pond in an oasis the water would be pretty flat so I like how it’s

Echoing that in there and I’m hopeful for where these are gonna go do you all think that you would if you had the ability to would you be playing with the ray-tracing shaders or do you all like the regular minecraft stuff I’ll try and leave a pull-up in the corner here let

Me know what y’all think do you like shaders or do you prefer just plain old minecraft do you think this stuff is being overhyped a little bit too much I’m really curious to hear all your thoughts on that because I know some people are very impartial or very

Partial to just the regular default minecraft look no shaders nothing just get us our nice little colors out here so let me know on that one one thing I was really excited to be checking out with these shaders was this forested pathway where we have these trees

Covering over the area so much and I wanted to see how the light started to play with the environment and I gotta say this is pretty dang cool I think they did a pretty good job on how this all works here the just the way the

Shadows play on the ground is so natural even having the bushy leaves in here you can see it all really down to the corners of the blocks themselves in it even with that it’s starting to round out which i think is so cool but I just wanted to very very quickly run through

This pathway with you all and see just what it looked like with all of the shader without with all of the shadows the shadows coming throughout here I think it turned out really really cool I love this eye I really like these shaders y’all have to let me know what

Your thoughts are on this one we are loading in the rest of everything throughout the world here the very very big part of our city so things might get a little leggy and frame me here for a second while those chunks start to load in because I’m sure these shaders are

Gonna be trying to do a lot of work underneath that custom terrain that we have but let’s take a let’s take a quick look over here into the vineyard and we can drop down into here and I’m curious to see how this all looks with the castle in the background and everything

I will say though the the windows themselves on the castle like everything over there it’s pretty dark behind the windows but it’s also because there’s no interior on those so that might be something that we need to do and fix up so that it works its way going around

Here I think that might be something that we can probably fix up pretty well ourselves let’s see if we can get a good reflection of the castle down here from the water can we get that do we see that ooh the water doesn’t reflect that clearly so you know it’s probably a bit

More of a realistic reflection of everything but maybe if we come out here to where the water is a little bit deeper and we start to lose the colors of that dirt underneath ooh you can kind of start to see the castle down there a little bit which is very very

Cool I love that a lot now that actually turned out really really sweet the rest of the vineyard however we really need to fix that windmill up here but the vineyard itself is looking pretty dang cool I gotta say I gotta hand it to the Voyager shaders here these things are

Pretty epic coming down into our village we do have a lot of light sources in here because I was wanting to make sure everything looked very very finished as and safe for our villagers down here when we originally did this one but I will say there’s not a whole lot of

Shadow being cast off of these torches or not a whole lot of a glow on them that would be kind of nice that there’s a little bit more of a glow here I guess you can kind of see it when you look close at them but overall there isn’t a

Whole lot of it going on especially under this tree it’s very very dark I feel like the sunlight and this pack at least is very much the controlling factor for light throughout here they don’t really use the pointed lights or the positional lights or whatever we want to call these little torches and

Lanterns and things hanging around here I feel like that’s something a little bit of a missed opportunity you can make that a little bit better I think I was messing with the config of the shaders a little bit here and was able to get ourselves to a point where the light

Should be a lot warmer and brighter from torches and lanterns and all those things so I’m excited to see what it is inside of here I would actually like to just temporarily change this over to add in some night time here and see what that all looks like so let’s do a little

Time ad and we’ll add in like 8,000 right here I know that’s bringing us into a little bit of the not so survival side of things but I think that’s all fine we’re just adding time to the game and making the day go by a little bit

Faster all right here we are this is what I was hoping to see look at those the light sources are really white though the lights themselves are still that kind of whitish color but overall outside of those we’re getting a really cool like red a hazy glow around this

Area which i think is really cool this is really where you can see the ray-tracing coming to life with all of the way the light is playing around with the shadows and everything and as you walk closer to them the rest of the world gets a little bit darker so look

Right here everything else becomes a bit darker then you walk way and I think that type of stuff is really cool and the stars out up above us oh my gosh that it’s really cool looking I know it’s probably very very dark field here and very very foggy but

I want to just take a chance to look at the front of our city here as you can see all of the just different textures and lights and everything coming in here taking into effect I think it’s very very cool I think almost we could remove

Some of those torches from down below I think we could take quite a few of those out and might give us a more of a cool ambience at the night time here but overall I think these city streets are starting to look really really cool there’s a few sections I would love to

Check out I know it’s very very dark for y’all but let’s take it just a little bit of a gander over here and see what we can find all right one thing I really really wanted to touch on was inside of here where we built that little Market

Square let’s see how does this look it’s very that’s kind of nice that’s pretty cool I like that I do wish these lights were more colored though I wish there’s a little bit more of a red to the light itself but that is pretty dang cool if

We jump down into the sewers which are down below us we can come on into our sewer section over here that should just be pitch-black basically this does get a pretty cool look to it though that dark ambient light they’re on or the darkness with just that single bit of light over

There that is really really sweet I do like that a lot coming back over to the daytime side of things I thought we could jump up to the mountains and see how those look while all these shaders I first and foremost right here the darkness that is coming off of these

Cliffs like right below the cliffs themself especially after that Center right side I love that that is so very cool I was thinking we could take this pathway as we go through a small cave here do you get ourselves up on top of the mountains I think something like

This could look really really cool especially just gonna as you jump into this dark little cave here and just it winds its way up to the top and we come on out here into our nice little forest that we’ve been working on recently I think something like this this is I feel

Like this is where these shaders can really shine especially with our lovely sugar boxes around us but coming up throughout this forest that we’ve been slowly working on and slowly building up over the streams and everything I think this part right here is looking really

Cool so if we look at this image right here these are the current way that we have with these shaders and I want to show you a little a little bit of a side-by-side of those shaders that I normally use versus these one here to

Give a bit of a critique to them and now we are over in Silver’s vibrant the brand-new ones the most recent updated ones I personally like I feel like this has a lot more characteristic to it there’s a lot more vibrance to it where if you let’s let’s jump back over name

You’ll see it just kinda is a blue hazy look for all of the ray-tracing bits and back over in the Ray Tracy you kind of see that blue hazy bit that I was talking about there but it is pretty pretty cool when we’re looking throughout this area still regardless I

Think it’s this is probably much more of a realistic color where the other one the shaders that I like to use are very much their high contrast II very much built for playing a video game where these are meant to echo what it looks like in real life which i think is it’s

It’s its own style it’s very different I think they’re both very cool in their own right though but coming up here to the snow I wanted to see how this interacted with the snow in our mountains to see if we still get a lot of detail and depth inside of our

Mountains up here which I think we still do it looks like we’re getting a good amount of that stuff up there with our plane coming over the top of the mountains all the snow up there I think once we can get like this the forested section finished all the way over there

As well then it’s gonna look really really sweet but you can see our little fishies hanging out here in the water our salmon love this leg up here they’re all just hanging out watching all of the world go by and everything in the mountains with this oh my gosh look at

Those render it in the background there look at all of that coming together that is crazy-looking the way the shadows are playing off of that it looks smooth that doesn’t look like a blocky structure that looks very very smoothed out and now as we get closer you can kind of

Start to see the details in it as we get those little shadows are triggering but the overall large shadow that was on there I think it’s caused by the peak of this mountain itself that is crazy how it’s bringing everything down there and just creating that one cohesive texture

If we come back out over here you’ll see that a little bit here again as ever kind of smoothes in together and I really like that a village I have back here in the middle of our dark forest which I don’t typically show off too much is something that I thought would

Be very cool because it’s in a dark oak it’s in a dark oak forest meaning that there is going to be a lot of shadows and darker areas throughout but I think this will be something pretty cool as we can get a lot of the reflections in the

Surrounding area especially off of like the rocky phases and the leaves are actually distributing light throughout the area inside of these shaders and I think it looks pretty dang cool all those villages is basically there’s a little section right here with some houses around the outside I think it I

Like it this is really cool looking apparently some villagers made their way over here I think these are the old school original Minecraft villagers as well so those have been here for quite a long time but this outside this outside area in here is super sweet

I like how we can see the little bits of the sunrays poking through the trees on top of our wall blocks and everything I think that adds a cool bit of extra color and life into here and those guys really really like that area there’s a

Lot of villagers down here there was one final section back here which was built to be very very dark and hidden in the forest I’ve kind of like a training ground for maybe a militia that’s out here of archers this was our Robin Hood village after all so he had to include

An archery range and that’s pretty sweet I like that one it’s very hidden back here and it doesn’t feel too bright either but it still feels like you could be inside of this area and not be like living in darkness which I feel like dark oak for sometimes can they

Typically can look something like that whereas if we hide the light source everything kind of gets that nice glow to it and say I’m staring at the Sun where everything does get very very dark in the surrounding area quickly flying across the swampland area we’re gonna be

Coming over to our last stop for today today’s little shaders tour which I hope you all did enjoy if you all want to see more stuff like this we’re testing out different parts of new things coming to Minecraft inside of our own world let me know I’d be happy to look in a

Few other ones maybe there’s some other texture packs or things like that they’ve all been curious how the world looks inside of those let me know down in the comments below by coming over to our lovely castle bleak rock I want to see how this structure looked like in

With these lovely shaders because a few areas do have interiors to them like this one right over here there’s actually an interior behind this so I was curious what its gonna look like through the glass itself because this glass right here is actually I believe that’s like a white stained glass pane

But inside of here it still is pretty dark but I guess you get a good amount of light and color inside of there I think we need to retrofit that with some new lanterns or something like that but this side oh I like that that’s very cool I think my favorite

Part of this one right now is one those chests that I keep leaving there forever but this is how you can kind of see the ocean waves rolling through out here when it’s in this larger body of water I feel like the walk the water pattern is different almost and you can definitely

See because it’s deeper here we can definitely see the reflection of the castle down below which i think is very very sweet it brings a lot of extra life to this area I I love I think the water like this it can be very cool but it can

Also be a little weird and we got up nice little dolphin jumping around there in the water too but like when we get the kelp out here and everything that’s where I think it can look really cool because you get a little bit of green stuff

I just wish Kelton always grow to the top of the water and the surrounding areas that basically view if you play in one area inside your Minecraft world for too long all you’re gonna see around you is full kelp but then you travel anywhere else and you’re not gonna have

Very much kelp and we have a donkey out here hey buddy I guess we need to come out and tame you I’ve been looking for a donkey and our small fishing village out here – with the castle in the background this right here gets a very very cool

Sense of atmosphere to it I think that itself is very very awesome I love this one but anyways everybody that’s gonna have to do it for today’s video I hope you all did enjoy this little bonus extra one looking at ray-tracing shaders inside of Minecraft please be sure to
