RenderDragon

RenderDragon is the new rendering engine used $$. It is currently available on Windows 10, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Features
Render Dragon features edge highlighting and new lighting techniques as part of the soon-to-be visual and performance upgrades. It supports a range of graphics features, depending on the device's capability. Most devices have some graphics enhancements, but not all devices can support ray tracing. It aims to offer the smoothest Minecraft experience possible on all devices by taking advantage of different hardware.

There is a new "ray lighting" option, in which all lighting is based on light sources projecting rays. This allows blocks to cast realistic-looking shadows.

Trivia

 * Render Dragon was designed to be usable in Java Edition. However, it is currently not used in that edition.
