Could we have the option for real time ray tracing for the lighting?

I absolutely love the beautiful skies and stunning sunsets, and would love to see this game with RTX on. I know next to nothing about coding, I don't know if it involves asking Nvidia or anything but would love to see it in the game.

Many thanks.

Since they use a custom engine, it will require some work. It's impossible to estimate how difficult it would be without being familiar with it. However, the game is far from complete, so I imagine that something like that won't be released in the near future. I think it will be a great publicity stunt tbh.

I'm having "other block game" flashbacks of 4 frames per second as the world is (very slowly) revealed in realistic graphical fidelity. 

I'd love VS to look better, but I'll be honest, as of now it looks lovely already. I own an RTX card and I have to say it's hardly been used for that purpose. I think a combination of tasteful graphics and the current shaders is enough to provide a beautiful sky or sunset. You have to factor in that the game is voxel based with a pixelised graphical style. It's just me, but I feel a photo-realistic world would juxtapose that considerably.

There are other shaders (and texture packs) out there, https://mods.vintagestory.at/list/mod?sortby=lastReleased&sortdir=d&text=shader, which may bring you closer to what you desire.

I would love to see the developers at least improve some of the lighting interactions, especially with improving light leakage through roofs.
