Minecraft Virtual Realty

Early on, Persson planned to support the  Oculus Rift with a port of Minecraft, however after Facebook acquired Oculus in 2013 he abruptly canceled plans noting "Facebook creeps me out." [118] [119]  A modification known as  Minecraft VR was developed in 2016 to provide virtual reality support to the original Java version of  Minecraft oriented towards Oculus Rift hardware. A  fork of  Minecraft known as  Vivecraft ported the mod to  OpenVR, and is oriented towards supporting  HTC Vive hardware. [120]  On 15 August 2016, Microsoft launched official Oculus Rift support for the  Windows 10 Edition of the game.
