How To Install Minecraft In VR (Vivecraft) In 2023 For The Oculus Quest, Vive, Rift, Valve Index

[@mutecommercials]

I hate that any time I have to do anything like this it never goes smoothly and, then read about how everyone else had a painless experience whereas I have a rage fit for hours trying to make this work properly... But I did get it working thanks to your videos, thank you very much!

That's brilliant! I'm happy my guide helped! Happy gaming 😁

[@WarHeadNuke]

Migrated my decade old account to Microsoft and got Minecraft VR running in under 10 mins. Thanks!! Now to figure out the modding part lol

[@DeadPixelGaming]

Really glad to have helped! The VR modding part is hard because the vivecraft mod is a few versions behind so you've got to find mods that are compatible. It becomes even harder when mods have dependencies... Because they've got to be in date with vivecraft as well as the mod.

[@foxygamer1515]

There's actually a youtuber by the name of Ryan Clifford and he actually made some videos on how to install mods on vivecraft with the use of cursforge. And on his most recent one he actually linked v2 of his vr minecraft modpack which with a couple of extra mods massively increases the beauty (and fright factor) of minecraft in vr! the videos he's made should walk you through the process

There's no such thing as putting your GPU on high. You can overclock it to make it stronger but if you do that and don't know what you're doing you'll break your laptop.

How can i just use the normal file explorer to open it? i need to download breezip to do it?

[@DeadPixelGaming]

No, as it says on the guide you need to install java to run it as an installer

[@FoxxinAroundWith115]

When I'm booting up Vivecraft, it shows through my PC screen than my Oculus, my Oculus perspective is looking at "Waiting..." Or "Next Up..." Patiently waiting hours on end and no progress. I can move the head around and mess with the buttons in-game through my pc and can hear the audio of the clicking as well.

[@DeadPixelGaming]

Completely fresh installation?

[@FoxxinAroundWith115]

I recently messed around in my Graphics from Nvidia which i switched it into "High Performance" which now allows me to play Vivecraft. Thank you though ! Your video still helped me out to install everything i need for Vivecraft !

[@abdestroyer233]

I have a question does the non vr install make it so non vr player see your vr movements?

[@DeadPixelGaming]

To my knowledge you have to run a vivecraft server in order to play this online. And again, I may be wrong but you can join a vivecraft server without VR and see the movements. I only say this because I've seen General Sam play Minecraft VR with friends who didn't have it

You need Java. If you haven't installed java your pc doesn't know what to do with the file. If you have java installed right click and open with (search) java.

[@DeadPixelGaming]

You need to download Java. Or else your PC won't see that it's a java file.

[@xxxod]

You don't.

[@DeadPixelGaming]

It's possible if you are running your own dedicated server using the vivecraft mod. During the installation process it asks if you're installing the game or a server. General Sam has done a bunch of videos of him messing around in MCVR with his friends.

[@DeadPixelGaming]

Any mod that you add has to be compatible with the version of Minecraft you are using which is set by the version of vivecraft you are using. Be warned that a lot of mods designed for native Minecraft do not work in vivecraft. You need to look for VR mods.

It could be all manner of things. Are you using mods? If so don't, it needs to be done without mods. Also bare in mind you need a much stronger pc to run minecraft in VR. Most people who get crashes are either using mods or their PC is struggling.
