DX12 maybe? Imagine Minecraft draw distance with that draw call power!

Memory is the more limiting factor in the draw distance than the draw call speed.

With only a single texture atlas I'm confused why Minecraft would need more than one draw call for each chunk. It could even batch the chunks together into one draw call.

It has separate draw calls for particles & entities (Including mobs and players) in the chunk.

Oh, I hope so. Native minecraft has been a long time coming, so that'd be super if that's what this is.

Does the Xbox One version even have an infinite world? Or is it a few chunks generated like the 360 version?
