A couple of years ago during E3, Microsoft announced that it would be releasing its own Super Duper Graphics Pack for Minecraft, a first-party, cross-platform graphics pack comparable to some of the mods that have been available on PC for years. Mojang has been quiet on the subject since its initial announcement but today, it was announced that the project has been cancelled due to technical issues.
 
The Minecraft team doesn’t single out any platform in particular as the root cause for the issues, simply stating that they weren’t happy with “how the pack performed across devices”. Given that Minecraft is available on PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PS4 as well as iOS and Android, the issues could have come from any platform.
 
Personally I feel that even a limited roll-out would be better than nothing at all.

    I think with how old Minecraft is they do need to release a sequel if they are going to do a graphical update. Partly to charge more and also to start fresh.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
