Developer Mojang has explained the major graphical upgrade for Minecraft has proven far too technically demanding and has now been permanently shelved.<\/p>\n<p>Minecraft isn\u2019t exactly the first game to be asked to dance at the prom, yet this graphics pack was set to provide a huge overhaul to its lighting and shadows, provide 4K texture support, add realistic flora, and upgrade the water surfaces to be fully reflective.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSome of you might remember us announcing the Super Duper Graphics Pack during E3 2017,\u201d <\/em>Mojang has announced this week via the Minecraft blog.<em> \u201cSuper Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft but, unfortunately, the pack proved too technically demanding to implement as planned<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe realise this is disappointing to some of you \u2013 there was a lot of enthusiasm for Super Duper from inside and outside the studio \u2013 but unfortunately, we aren\u2019t happy with how the pack performed across devices. For this reason, we&#8217;re stopping development on the pack, and looking into other ways for you to experience Minecraft with a new look.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s quite frustrating here is it\u2019s quite obviously the lowest common denominator holding it back. Minecraft has been released on basically every platform under the sun, including mobile and even the Nintendo 3DS, somehow. There\u2019s no doubt a high-end PC could take advantage of a major graphical upgrade for Minecraft, but we\u2019d have to assume Mojang doesn\u2019t want to split out its development paths.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second factor may be that Mojang couldn\u2019t even get Minecraft Super Duper Graphics Pack running at a stable frame rate on the Xbox One X, a situation which would obviously be quite embarrassing and could warrant the cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, PC gamers still have an out, of course. The mod scene is humongous among Minecraft PC gamers so if you want to cobble together your own version of the Minecraft Super Duper Graphics Pack there are plenty of mods out there which can do that, including some early forays into ray-traced lighting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[617,279,618,284,619],"class_list":["post-2221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-duper","tag-graphics","tag-minecraft","tag-super","tag-upgrade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
