So Minecraft and RTX.
Talk about needing high end.
Just to run 1080p without DLSS at 60 fps you will need at lease a 2080 Super or 2080 Ti.
For 1440p with a 2080 Super/Ti it's 22 fps.
CPU isn't so much of a factor just slightly lower minimum fps in some cases.
So if you want to run Minecraft RTX
On a i9-9900K or Ryzen 9 3950X
With a 2080 TI
At 4K
Will only net 22 FPS.
So I'd suggest holding off on playing Minecraft with RTX right now until some improvements can be made.

Is anyone else not a fan of the Bedrock edition on consoles? Sure, unlimited worlds and crossplay are great, but there's just one thing I can't get over.
4J Studios really did a great job creating a user interface that was tailored to the console experience. It was also fast and responsive. Bedrock's interface reeks of freemium mobile game; like I'm playing a phone game with a DS4. Clearly not designed for the hardware it's running on. To add salt to the wound, the interface as a whole is slow. Sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds just to load the settings screen. In addition, opening a chest/furnace whatever incurs a delay that I don't find present at all on pre-bedrock versions. Nevermind it being a PITA to navigate the crafting/inventory screens.
It's an absolute nitpick, I know, but having to engage with the interface as often as you do in a typical run of play doesn't help.

I think the new UI isn't very good at all (even with a mouse and keyboard, which is what I use). I don't like the four categories since I never know where a black is as they're broader categories. If they'd made a UI based on the input device, it would be much better.
The recipe book is the better than the Java one at least...

I only discovered this last night...
Lots of very cool free content on the Minecraft Store, under the 'Minecraft Education' category.
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/free-educational-content-minecraft-marketplace
I don't know if this was always intended to be free, or if it will continue to be free after it has been downloaded (I assume and hope so...), but for now it is all freely available.
Free content includes Minecraft models of Mount Olympus, the International Space Station and Washington D.C., among several others.

This one was a bit tricky since it's a fairly new building and not a lot of reference images.
EDIT:
There's two of us working on the Boise State campus. He changed out the Obsidian for Dark Prismarine to match the texture better. I gave him permission obviously.

This is a bit of a difficult building to do due to it being an open structure. This is what I've done yesterday, I improved the look today and I want to upload a new shot of the finished product.

Anyone working anything exciting? Anyone celebrate holidays in their worlds? Fireworks..etc.

Minecraft Earth is set to be axed at the end of June. The most recent update disabled microtransactions and added in "all completed, unreleased content currently in our pipeline", which is a bit of a nice gesture as they could have easily just junked that content and tried to squeeze a few last dollars out of the game.
Unsurprisingly Covid is being cited as the official cause since people are being generally discouraged to go outside, which is kind of an important part of the game.

Says Pokemon Go....
We still take your money and still let you go outside.
I think it couldn't compete with it so I guess that's all you can do.
I played a bit but it was just like Poke Go and just removed it.

Hmm, if I were a member of the coronavirus family I'd be a tad insulted, but hey.Minecraft Earth is set to be axed at the end of June.

This game had so much potential, but let's face it, it stank to high Heaven.
Good riddance.

The only thing I cared about it was the variants of animals. Hopefully they'll be added to Minecraft at some point.

Glow Squid.
By vote.
Mobs
Glow Squid- Originates from Minecraft Earth.
- Glows in the same way that magma cube cores, vexes, blazes and the eyes of spiders, drowned, and endermen do.
- Spawns in deep ocean biome.
- Likely to spawn in flooded caves as well.
- Was decided on based on a mob vote between it, the Moobloom from Minecraft Earth, and the Iceologer from the Minecraft Dungeons DLC Creeping Winter. Failing mobs are less likely to be added but still have a chance to be implemented in the future.
