Minecrift Mod is coming to Vive

The Minecrift mod for Minecraft has allowed people to play the Java version of Minecraft on the Oculus Rift.  Playing Minecraft on the Rift is very fun, they recently released an update which made it compatible with the Oculus SDK 0.8, after a fairly long wait.  Now on top of that, they’re planning on supporting the HTC Vive as well.  from what I’ve been reading, it will only support head tracking at first, but they are planning on adding vive controller support in the future as well.

I’m also looking forward to seeing how Minecraft looks on the Oculus CV1 and Vive headsets, it looks very nice on the DK2, and is playable on the DK1.  Although the lack of positional tracking on the DK1 can be a bit … difficult at times.

If anyone wants to take a look at the Minecrift mod for Minecraft, you can find it here.  You can also view their openVR/Vive progress here.
