Volumetric fog is an advanced atmospheric rendering effect in Minecraft, simulating realistic light scattering through fog volumes. It debuted in path-traced RTX previews and has appeared in shader packs for enhanced visuals.

Minecraft news highlights its implementation in snapshots, performance impacts on hardware, and comparisons to traditional fog mechanics.

Community creators showcase volumetric fog in custom worlds, while Mojang updates address optimization for broader adoption.
