It is documented here on the wiki due to being officially-released content by Mojang Studios, even if not present in a final version.

Ray Tracing is a humanoid entity that spawns within the Overworld of Minecraft.

Spawning[]

Ray Tracing can be allowed into the world by activating the vote minecraft:ray_tracing and waiting for the message "Ray Tracing has joined the game".

Behavior[]

Throwing a splash bottle of ray tracing at any mob can disguise it as Ray Tracing.

Ray Tracing wanders randomly in the world, sending random chat messages to the player. Upon death, Ray Tracing sends a random chat message.

When the vote minecraft:ray_tracing is repealed "Ray Tracing has left the game" will be sent on the chat and the entity will despawn.

Sounds[]

Ray Tracing uses the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
