Aether is a spatial engine that reinvents the wheel for gameplay physics and performance, as we’ve previously seen when Aether was used in a tech demo for EVE Online.

The Aether engine massively optimizes the way games run, and this technology should help push along Minecraft to even greater heights as a titan of the gaming industry.

Paired with Minecraft’s foray into VR, this is a fantastic 1-2 punch of technological advancement, following up on other advancements including implementation of RTX.

There is now full PSVR Support for Minecraft, for free, so players can dive right into the world in their own living rooms.

While the pyramid was made in Creative Mode, it’s still an astounding final product that few Minecraft players could ever dream of putting together. Its architecture is fantastic, and puts out the challenge for other Minecraft players to put together their own great wonders in-game.
