Voices rose that assured him that he would.

A few days ago some of the minecraft beta subscribers they succeeded in obtaining the function of Laser trace in his Xbox series. Although this seems to announce the upcoming release of the feature, Mojang Studios took to their Twitter account to deny the major.

The previous version of Minecraft Preview available to Xbox Insiders inadvertently included prototype code for ray tracing support on Xbox consoles. This early prototype code has been removed from preview and does not signal any near future plans to bring ray tracing support to consoles.

In the tweet launched it is specified that the code involved stating that the Ray Tracing feature was a prototype that inadvertently ended up in the version previously distributed to Xbox Insiders. The teams would like to point out that this does not presage the arrival of the function

to consoles and that a new debugged version of this part has been released.

It’s a bucket of cold water for those hoping to enjoy those glowing effects on Xbox. However, the developers are not closing the door to a future implementationalthough not soon.
