New update and server plugin for 1.10

Good afternoon to you, my dear vivecrafters. We have another update today for the 1.10 version of Vivecraft that goes along with the first release of our ‘official’ (i.e. I wrote it) multiplayer plugin for Spigot servers. This plugin has the exciting ability to allow vivecraft users to see each other’s hands and heads waving about.

Also made some improvements for our Rift users, you can now use ‘teleport’ mode while playing seated. And you can correctly set the origin for your Hydra controllers if that’s how you roll.

As always there’s a couple other new little features and bugfixes, including improvements to some of the new ‘roomscale’ movement. Check out the releases page for the full list.

1.10.2 Releases
1.10.2 Issues

1.7.10 Releases (nothing new today)

Instructions for installation of both versions can be found on the Downloads Page.

The new 1.10 server plugin can be found on the Vivecraft Spigot Extensions releases page

If you’re interested in a bit of a roadmap, my plans for the near future are to port all this cool new stuff back to the 1.7 branch. Get the rest of the needed multiplayer features into the new VSE plugin. Get the new VSE plugin also working on 1.7, and then maybe take a nap.

Play Vivecraft on your phone!

It’s been brought to my attention that you can play Vivecraft on your phone with Google Cardboard and VRidge from Riftcat. I put a link on the main page. It seems it was also brought to the attention of Riftcat cause they made a ‘how to’ video. Neat!

Vivecraft v5 – Huge roomscale overhaul

Last time I promised something Super Cool(tm). I am here to deliver.

12 days since the last release? That’s like, 17 1/2 Vivecraft years. Whole generations of ocelots have come and gone in the interim.

What has all your patience wrought? well, dear fiends, we have a huge roomscale interactivity overhaul courtesy of our new contributor Finaltransmit, and myself.

You can check the release notes for the details and instructions but there’s a TON of new ways to interact with your Minecraft worlds.

Please note this is ONLY for Minecraft 1.10.2 AT THIS TIME. We fully intend on releasing these improvements for the 1.7 branch as soon as  you all have bugtested the hell out of experienced the majesty of these changes and we’ve gotten some feedback and put them in their final form. Most of the new interactions could use some additional sophistication and feedback to make them easier and more pleasing to use, and doing both versions at once is just… not fun. If you have suggestions to make everything better, drop us a line on Github or Discord.

Vivecraft updates v4 & 31

Another week, another update, my loyal fans. Mostly bugfixes this time. I promise to have something Super Cool(tm) soon.

One neat thing I didn’t even know about is the Dynamic Lights setting in optifine for 1.10. You can actually turn it on now and it makes held torches emit light without a shader pack on, neato!

If you missed it, Brad Lynch put out a cool Mixed Reality video the other day.

I love this stuff! If you have a favorite youtuber with a Vive send them a message to come play Vivecraft. (I’m looking at you, Toboscus)

Also Techjar has put together a modded Vivecraft server. Check out the details here.

Oh and I started a twitter! Follow me for twitter posts that will duplicate pretty much exactly what I post here! Isn’t technology great? #socialmedia #hashtag

As always please please report bugs on Github.

Vivecraft Updates 3 and 30.

Laundry list of bugfixes to Vivecraft 1.10 which is now version 3.
Added the new /tp command teleporting to 1.7.10, now version 30.
Added some minor feature updates and fixes to both versions.
Details on the individual release pages.

Hoping these 2 releases are bug-free and feature-complete enough I can sit back and start working on some fresh new features, open to suggestions.

As always please please report bugs on Github. I sustain myself solely on the souls of bugs and I am very thirsty.
