Ray Tracing is a humanoid mob exclusive to the April Fools' snapshot 23w13a_or_b that spawns within the Overworld.

Ray Tracing can be allowed into a world by activating the vote minecraft:ray_tracing and waiting for the message "Ray Tracing has joined the game". Ray Tracing spawns at a random position around the world spawnpoint, regardless of the gamerule spawnRadius.

Throwing a splash bottle of Ray Tracing at any mob disguises it as Ray Tracing. Hostile mobs target a changed Ray Tracing. If a hostile mob was disguised as Ray Tracing, it attacks the attacker.

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When the vote minecraft:ray_tracing is repealed, "Ray Tracing has left the game" is sent on the chat and the entity despawns.

When the entity has initially spawned, Ray Tracing sends a spawn message after between 4 and 30 seconds. Idle messages are sent in intervals of between 30 and 180 seconds.

In French mode, Ray Tracing can only say "Omelette du fromage". This is a reference to the Cartoon Network show Dexter's Laboratory.^{[citation needed]}

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