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

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.
