VR Features

  • Full roomscale support: Walk around your room as you mine and build. Blocks in Minecraft are 1 meter in size. You’ll be amazed how big they really are!
  • World scaling: Scale your size in the world up or down. Play as an ant or a giant!
  • Break blocks and fight by really swinging your hands!
  • Shoot your bow realistically by drawing and aiming two-handed!
  • Pet animals, feed horses, fill buckets in roomscale!
  • Multiple VR locomotion options for your preferred playstyle:
    • Arc teleportation, with optional limitations for a balanced Survival-mode experience.
    • Free-movement in the direction you are pointing the controller or your head.
    • Walkabout-style of rotation to use 100% room-scale movement. (Experimental!)

History

Vivecraft started out as Minecrift, A mod for the Oculus dev kits. It was originally written by mabrowning and StellaArtois. It was ported to OpenVR by Automat-GH, who also did the original implementations of teleporting and hand swinging under the name Minecrift-Vive. Currently it is being updated by jrbudda and Techjar who have added many features and improved compatibility with the Minecraft community. The project is now Vivecraft to help differentiate from the previous, seated VR versions.
