You're facing performance issues with ray tracing in Minecraft after installing your RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 3600. The drop from around 60 FPS to 30 FPS when shaders are applied suggests the graphics settings or shader complexity are causing bottlenecks. Since you suspect the issue is related to Java, look into optimizing shader usage, reducing shadow quality, or adjusting rendering profiles. Others have shared tips like lowering shadow detail, using simpler textures, or testing with lower resolution scenes.
I think true ray tracing is only available in the Windows edition of Minecraft. The Java version uses shaders that resemble engine-based ray tracing effects, but don’t actually perform real-time ray tracing. Based on what I found online, I also realize I haven’t played Minecraft recently and don’t have a GPU with ray tracing support.
