History

Vivecraft started out in 2013 as Minecrift by mabrowning and StellaArtois as a seated-VR mod for the Oculus Rift development kits. In early 2016 it was ported to OpenVR by Automat-GH, who also added the original implementations of teleporting and roomscale play under the name Minecrift-Vive. In mid-2016 jrbudda and Techjar began updating the mod and have since added many features and improved compatibility with the greater Minecraft community. The project is now Vivecraft to help differentiate from the previous versions.
