Summary

  • Following the 1.21.80 update to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, official support for virtual reality (VR) headsets has been removed as per Mojang’s previous announcement that it would cease such support after March 2025.
  • While the VR headset support is no longer officially available, users with the Java version of the game can use third-party mods such as Vivecraft, which works on most VR platforms, or QuestCraft, specific to Meta Quest headsets.
  • Mojang claimed last year that its ability to support VR and mixed reality devices had come to an end, justifying its decision to end support for the tech.
  • The removal of official VR support follows the end of Minecraft’s exclusivity agreement with Microsoft’s Xbox, signalling a move towards openness between the game and other platforms.
