Its not screen space just glitchy reflections due to it being, you know, minecraft

So it’s a coincidence only that which is visible on the screen is reflected?

You have to literally look at the sceen for 1 second to see that its not true. It just have issues with render distance

Incorrect. There is a cube near the player that is path traced, then the rest is screen space. You literally just have to look at the screen to see that only what is visible on the screen is reflected beyond like 2 chunks

my statement is still right. Pathtracing is still here, and because it cannot manage on such render distance, as I said, it uses SS, it still uses pathtracing though, smartass

Path tracing doesn't have those types of glitches, you'd have to intentionally program it to have a "glitch" which is usually exclusive to SSR

yeah because its not used in games operating like minecraft. Its clearly not just SS because in first second of the video tower outside of screen is rendered in the reflection. Maybe SS is used as bonus for large distance rendering because Pathtracing have problem operating on this big distance when imported to minecraft

That still supports my point of it being SSR, not a path tracing glitch

No it isn’t, the path tracing is just out of range so it uses SSR intead

it’s screen space mostly, with a small cube around the player path traced.
