Minecraft Super Duper Graphics Pack is Cancelled

So throughout Minecraft’s history the past 2 years, many things have happened. Versions have been cancelled, updates have happened and bugs have been squashed. But one question on everyone’s mind was about Super Duper and when it would release. Well today, it was confirmed that the company is pulling the plug on the pack.

As stated on the official Minecraft website the article states that while “Super Duper was an ambitious initiative that brought a new look to Minecraft” (which it would have done) the pack “unfortunately proved too technically demanding to implement as planned.” The pack did bring some MAJOR realistic designs to the game including lighting and external features. The article then says “For this reason, we’re stopping development on the pack, and looking into other ways for you to experience Minecraft with a new look.”

While this may come as a shock to many, it was also expected by a few. The pack had a lot of different objectives in mind but it looks like it proved to be too challenging for now and with the game on many platforms, each feature needs to pass cert in order to get added to the game.

What do you think about this news? Are you surprised by it?
