Minecraft is a ga💫me that only gets better with age. Between mods from the communꦦity and massive updates from the developer, Minecraft is arguably more fun now than at any time in its history. And – thanks to the addition of RTX – it even looks like a next-gen title. In fact, one player decided to show off the decade-old game's stunning graphics by .

The mirrors used in the footage are part of a resource pack to show off the gam🎃e's ray-tracing capabilities. You can grab it for your own game by visiting the Minecraft Marketplace.

One of them is dubbed "Colosseum RTX," which gives you a look at the iconic structure in its "glory days during the Roman Empire." The other is "Dungeon Dash RTX," which gives you a set of challenges to work through while roa🦂ming the medieval countryside.
Both of them are stunning, but they pale in co🔯mparison to the mighty Mirror Room.
