Minecraft team puts Super Duper Graphics on blocks: It’s ‘too demanding’

The Minecraft Team at Microsoft has ended development of the previously promised Super Duper graphics pack. The team said that the visuals made the game too taxing.

Microsoft first announced the Super Duper pack alongside the Xbox One X reveal in 2017. The company intended to upgrade the textures and lighting to look better on 4K displays. Two years later, however, Super Duper never arrived. The Minecraft Team has instead worked on other updates for the block-building phenomenon.
