Minecraft has supported ray tracing since an update in December 2020. We'll tell you how to turn it on with your NVIDIA RTX graphics card and where to use it.

Java owners of Minecraft can get a free copy of the Windows 10 game by heading to Mojang’s website. But the deadline date is April 20 to claim their free copy.
