10. Before we proceed further, in that location are a couple of things to annotation:

• Once you opt-in to the Xbox Insider Hub Minecraft with RTX Beta, your world may not exist available to be opened in Minecraft Bedrock for Windows x, other Minecraft Boulder betas on the Insider program, or the total non-beta version of Minecraft with RTX that's launching at a afterward date. We therefore recommend yous make copies and backups of all worlds you wish to play in the Minecraft with RTX Beta, and so you can restore them at a later date in other versions of Minecraft.
• You lot may demand to uninstall Minecraft and/or the current Xbox Insider Minecraft Windows x Bedrock beta in order to download the Minecraft with RTX beta when you opt to participate in the new beta.

• HD Decorative Resource Pack and Hd Foundational Resource Pack, created past NVIDIA. These are hi-res textures, just due to a limitation in the current version of the beta they should not be activated at the same time.

• Muddle RTX , an all-block Resources Pack created by Razzleberries

Or if you wish to brand 1 yourself, check out our guide on creating your own textures using the physically based rendering pipeline.

If you intend to share your worlds, fix-fabricated with PBR textures, and so others can play and bask your ray-traced creations, nosotros recommend embedding resources packs directly into the world folders themselves.

If you only intend to download, convert, and play your own worlds, the alternative location in a higher place is recommended, equally it allows you to instantly enjoy whatsoever globe with ray tracing and PBR textures.

14. If you lot opted to make your own resources pack, rather than downloading ane of our 4 ready-made packs, or another ready-made ray tracing pack, you volition need to edit the manifest.json file in your pack with Notepad, Notepad++, or a similar application.

Instance file path: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds\mytestworld\resource_packs\mytestresourcepack\manifest.json, or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs/mytestresourcepack\manifest.json if y'all opted to utilise the alternative relieve location from step thirteen.

15. Add this section/text to the manifest.json file before the terminal closed curly brace:

"capabilities": [

                             "raytraced"

                             ]

Note: the other contents of your manifest.json file will differ

Save and close the file.

19 .  Click on the Resource Pack you added in the "My Packs" driblet down, then click the new "Actuate" button:

The pack volition now move into the "Active" list, and by expanding that list you can disable activated resource packs.

Please note, you can load multiple resource packs into one binder, just activating multiple packs simultaneously may lead to errors, bugs and glitches. Furthermore, a limitation in the current version of the beta can event in textures down-rezzing if retention usage exceeds a certain threshold.

xx . With your resources pack activated, click "Play" on the top left of the screen to load into your world.

21 . If you've done everything correctly, and take our Minecraft with RTX Game Ready Driver installed, or a newer version, ray tracing and DLSS 2.0 will be automatically enabled, and you lot'll see your globe in a glorious new lite with RTX ON!

If you're unsure if RTX is working, look at the debug text at the acme of the screen. In the current version of the beta, "D3D12 RTX" and "DLSS" volition be referenced. Alternatively, hit Escape, open the Settings, scroll downward, select "Advanced Video", and check "DirectX Ray Tracing" and "Upscaling" (DLSS ii.0) are enabled:

If you don't encounter the options, yous can't enable them, or there'due south an error bulletin next to the options, something has gone incorrect forth the way. Retrace your steps to find the problem.

22 . Explore your globe, and if you find whatever block-related problems or errors, update equally necessary.

23 . When finished playing, "Save & Quit" rather than Alt+F4'ing, so the in-game Resource Pack awarding is permanently applied, otherwise you lot may accept to repeat steps 16-20 each time you load Minecraft with RTX.

24 . For any subsequent worlds y'all create or convert, simply copy across the entire resource_pack sub-folder to your new globe'due south folder, and follow steps 16-20.

Alternatively, if you lot copied resource packs to the general folder mentioned in step xiii, %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs, simply click "Create New" in the "Play" screen, apply a resource pack equally in steps 17-xix, and so click "Create" on the top left of the screen. This will load you directly into a new world with ray tracing, PBR textures and NVIDIA DLSS ii.0 enabled.

And if you downloaded a Boulder world and added information technology to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds, follow steps sixteen-20 to activate Minecraft with RTX's new features in said world.
