Minecraft VR has been around for a little while. Unfortunately for Java Edition players, it's a Bedrock Edition exclusive, though it remains one of the coolest ways to play the game.

Minecraft Java Edition can finally be played on Meta's Quest VR headsets, using the community developed QuestCraft ...

Minecraft VR is among the most interesting games to play in virtual reality. Headsets such as the HTC Vive and the Oculus (Meta) Quest 2 unlock another immersive dimension in the title.

Minecraft has been available on basically every VR headset outside of Quest up until now, but that’s changing with the beta release of ‘QuestCraft’, the unofficial Quest port for Minecraft ...

As noted by Road to VR (via Eurogamer), the Vivecraft mod for Minecraft Java Edition is still out there, as is the QuestCraft mod for Quest headset owners.

To put it bluntly, VR support on the official Windows 10 Minecraft client just sucks. The list of supported headsets is abysmally small and is far too difficult to get working with most VR headsets.

By now you know that Minecraft: Pocket Edition is coming to the Gear VR headset. It's eventually coming to Oculus Rift as well, though Microsoft isn't quite ready to get into those details.

It's a match made in nerd heaven. Minecraft, Microsoft's tremendously popular video game, now works on Facebook's Oculus Rift headset, a highly regarded entrant into the new world of virtual reality.
