Give us the Minecraft that we deserve!

Next generation console players are tired of waiting for ray tracing, higher fps and higher resolution, tired of putting our hopes on Mojang and Microsoft again and again only to be disappointed.

I understand that you guys at Mojang are working hard and passionately to bring some cool new features to the game and on behalf of the community I thank you for that.  But when your costumers are crying out loud, begging, and you turn your heads to the side, It breaks our hearts, it feels like you don't really care about this great community, you don't care about the ones who put you where you are now.

On March 2020 we saw for the first time ray traced Minecraft running on Xbox Series X on a marvelous tech demo.  We know that it took 1 or 2 engineers around 4 weeks for it to be ported to the Xbox, we know that it ran at higher that 30 fps.  It's been 1 year and a half, I'm pretty sure if you had allocated those kind of resources to next gen development even with the things you have going on already, I'd be done by now.

What do we want?

1. We want a next generation update for Xbox Series X, S and PS5, free or otherwise,  that takes advantage of the new hardware and brings ray tracing, high fps and high resolution, longer render and simulation distances and a faster UI and load times.
2. We want transparency.  We want to know if you guys are working on it, what progress has been done, what technical difficulties are you facing, give us a reason to be understanding instead of giving us silence and disappoinment.
3. We want a release date, one that isn't set to comply with some investors agenda, we don't care how far into the future it is as long as you keep your word.  It would be nice if we could forget about it already so we can still be surprised when it finally comes.
4. We want betas of this features for all players (not only Xbox owners).  We understand you won't release a product that isn't up to the standards that we've come to expect.  Use betas and previews as experimental features, I'd love me some 5 frames per second glimpse into the future in exchange for some feedback.

How it would benefit Mojang, Microsoft and the players

Let's be honest, calling them "next gen" is an euphemism at this point.  As more and more gamers adopt the new hardware more pressure will be put on your shoulders from players demanding things that weren't exactly promised but teased them into spending hundreds of dollars.  You can turn this around, get ahead of it, make Minecraft the standard for what a next gen game can look like, seduce new players into the game with some shiny new graphics, enable new features and new ways of playing and sell a couple of consoles to players that don't even care about Xbox Series X because they only play Minecraft and there isn't a version for it.
