I bought this game back when it was the pretty early days. Played for about 10 minutes before getting bored and never touched it again.
 
Minecraft classic? No one cares. Release that promised 4K update and Super Duper Graphics pack that was promised almost 2 years ago.

Well that did a poor job of telling me what the heck it is... AR on the phone? Google Earth but a bunch of cubes? Eh...
 
They are doing everything but releasing the promised Super Duper Update and Xbox One X support that was due out 2 years ago.

Some of you might remember us announcing the Super Duper Graphics Pack during E3 2017. Super Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft but, unfortunately, the pack proved too technically demanding to implement as planned.

We realise this is disappointing to some of you – there was a lot of enthusiasm for Super Duper from inside and outside the studio – but unfortunately, we aren’t happy with how the pack performed across devices. For this reason, we're stopping development on the pack, and looking into other ways for you to experience Minecraft with a new look

It has officially been cancelled. Either the team working on it sucked or they put their resources elsewhere.
 
About a month or so ago I commented on a Minecraft post on FB asking if there was any new info on this 4K pack, I got 30+ comments talking s*** to me saying who needs 4K in Minecraft, calling me names, and bullying. I hate social media sometimes....

Not surprised this has been cancelled. My son and I was really looking forward to it we play co-op a lot.
 
I understand that they was going to do more than just res bump (?), but honestly... how hard could it be to make minecraft graphics in 4k lol?

I'm gonna guess harder than you think? Of course, it's all based on an indie developers core work. They'd probably need to rewrite the whole thing. Obviously consoles lack the power to push through bottlenecks that PCs have, nor the mod communities.
 
I have no idea how to make a game. But if Microsoft can’t make this 4K in a timely fashion then nobody can.

Too many variables, I’m assuming...if ms chose to only make it for Xbox and pc there would be mass hysteria. But it the could stager the reals to each platform and device, people with still cry but would be a tad bit accepting if it meant everyone would eventually get it but on reality they’d forget and MS cancel it later

I thought the Pack/4K update was only for One X and PC?
