I go onto my Xbox series X and the raytracing and upscaling options are grayed out with an exclamation point. It's been that way forever now why is it in the game if you can't use it? Why hasn't mojang said a word about the topic despite showing a working version of it on the Xbox series x a year ago. I don't understand how we haven't heard anything after all this time. Raytracing aside where is the next gen upgrade for Xbox Series X|S and PS5 consoles? The game literally runs better on an Xbox 360 then on next gen consoles for some reason. If raytracing is too much for the consoles (which it shouldn't be) an upgrade to 60fps and 4K definitely isn't. Smaller studios have done it over the course of a single month while mojang a first party studio owned by Microsoft can't produce a next gen upgrade after a year. It's insulting the fans to say the least. Especially when you guys won't even say anything on the matter. It would be way better to hear "we aren't upgrading the game" then to just be completely ignored with silence.

Sure I’ll repeat myself
Steps to reproduce:
1. turn on xbox
2. open Minecraft
3. Try to enable raytracing or upscaling but can’t because they are grayed out with exclamation points
The observed result are that Ray tracing and Upscaling can’t be enabled.
What should happen is I should be able to enable this feature for use.
It is not "broken", it's just not available on consoles. Ray Tracing is Windows 10 feature (on computers with supported GPUs).
I’m well aware it’s not “broken” but it doesn’t feel right to say it’s just “not supported” either when the option is taunting me right there every time I play. Xbox Series X and PS5 are definitely capable of running ray tracing even if it’s only in 30fps. We know this not just because of the hardware inside the consoles but also because they literally showed it working a year ago. They did clarify it was only a demo meant to show the power of the series x but have also refused to give a yes or no answer on if it’s in development as an actual feature. If its not a planned feature then they should just say it. It just goes to show how lazy mojang is. I mean they couldn’t even put out caves and cliffs on time despite putting out only one update a year that has enough content to last you like 2 days. Don’t know where all of that money from Microsoft goes but I can tell you it’s not into the games development.
