By the end of today’s video you’re gonna know how you can play minecraft java edition in virtual reality on your oculus quest one or two and you’re also gonna know how you can join servers in vr and how you can allow your non virtual reality friends to be able to

See your real life movements while playing minecraft job edition in virtual reality finally a good youtuber i really appreciate the comment mac oe means the world thanks for watching and thanks for continuously supporting the youtube channel now let’s get straight into this video so the absolute basic of this

Of course you need minecraft but i have to actually say that because a lot of people are like oh how come i can play it and it’s like did you download minecraft well you need to get minecraft if you don’t know how you’re playing the java one now you

Probably already have it but if you don’t you click on games on the minecraft website then you go down to minecraft once you’re in there you can then go over to get minecraft it’s at the very top they do actually have this other section over here which is a vr headset when you

Click in it has the oculus version here but this is for the rift version which is the official bedrock version of it hopefully we see this come to the quests as well but for now we’re going to play the java edition so you go over you click on computer and then once

You’re in here go with pc and then you can get your minecraft java edition so easy peasy once you have that you can buy it for 23.95 i already have it i’m just not logged into the website right now but anyway next step next thing you’re going to

Want to do is go over to the vive craft website i’ve made this as easy as possible for you so i’ve put it down in the description below and if you want to type it in it’s right here livecraft.org downloads and another slash for some reason anyway this is the vivecraft website

This is a community-made mod from a couple of years back it’s got renamed a few times but it’s basically the way of playing java minecraft in virtual reality of course java minecraft isn’t officially supported in vr so this is how you do it so the requirements section is right here i’ve

Already covered this you need minecraft java edition of course available on the minecraft website it has all the other stuff like you need steamvr as well and configured and you also need a vr compatible headset such as the htc vive oculus rift valve index or windows mixed reality

This does also work in the oculus quest 1 or 2. it does say that down below as well right about here you also need a pc that is capable of playing vr games now for playing vr minecraft you don’t actually need that much of a monster of a pc you can

Do it on a fairly low spec gaming pc which is pretty great you also do need an oculus link cable but if you actually have the charging cable from the original oculus quest you can now use that charging cable and save yourself 80 euros so you don’t have to buy the

Official one there are lots of third-party cables as well i personally use the kiwi cable it’s five meters long it’s not sponsored by them in any way but if you do want to support the channel when you’re picking one up if you use my link i get a small

Commission on it but that’s just if you’re interested it is down there if you like anyway so we have the download section here and this is where you downloaded you can either download an outdated version if you want i don’t really know why but

If you want anyway all you got to do is click on this one vivecraft 1.16 point x because that is the current version of minecraft so once you download this you’ll get a screen that looks like this you go through the installer and it’s pretty simple you do need to open

Minecraft before you actually install installer because minecraft needs to make the files on your computer so to do that literally just jump into minecraft jump into a random world and then just quit out this is if you haven’t played it before in your computer because the files haven’t actually been made on your

Computer yet and you do need them there to be able to install this also another tip you need to be quit out of minecraft while you’re installing this you can’t do it while you have minecraft open in the background so be sure to have a quick app before you try installing this

So now once you’ve opened the minecraft java edition launcher you want to not press play yeah as tempting as it is you don’t you want to go over here click on the arrow and change that from the latest release over to vivecraft and that’s how you’ll

Be able to play it in virtual reality you do of course need to put your headset on when you’re connecting this so connect your headset first have it connected with steamvr and then you’re able to play it by just launching it right here by clicking play and it will launch inside of your

Headset if for some reason it doesn’t appear here you can actually click over inside of installations and here you’ll be able to see it if for some reason you need to delete it if it’s not working and reinstall it you can do that here and you can mess around with it and play

With it here as well so that’s pretty cool bob the builders here and he is just just vibing here he seems to be way ahead wait here the red man manas no bob just bob hello now let’s say you want your non-vr friends to be able to see you do your vr movements

Inside of the game stuff like actually hitting things with your sword or actually punching trees and anything you want if you want to kill a pig or whatever i don’t care you can do that and you can also use your arms to actually swim in the game you can use it

To just wave or do whatever so basically you want your non-vr friends to be able to see this when you’re playing online with them and this is how you do it once again you go to the vivecraft website vivecraft.org download slash again scroll down a

Little bit on the page and then you do the exact same thing that we did before which is the same download link of vivecraft 1.16 point x this also has the 2d clients the non-vr version and it means that people are able to see your movements in virtual reality which

Is pretty cool so yes this process could take a little bit of time to do but if you follow along with all these steps you should have an up and running easy peasy as soon as possible and you’ll be in playing virtual reality minecraft if you are interested in actually

Playing minecraft bedrock instead of the java edition you can go over to the oculus quest store which is open right now just search and look up minecraft and once you have that oh look it’s one of the top trending searches minecraft there and then you go over to the page

And it’s actually free for claiming this if you already have minecraft bedrock which is minecraft windows 10 already installed on your computer so you can click free or start and you’re able to just launch minecraft bedrock in vr with your oculus quest 1 or 2 which is

Pretty neat but a lot of people want to be able to play this in the java edition so that’s what this video is for you know playing servers is just as easy as it is to play servers in minecraft 2d mode although you do got to be careful do

Look up what servers actually allow vr support because i know certain servers don’t allow people to use this vr vivecraft mod because it sort of has a little bit of cheats in there you are actually able to teleport when you have this mod installed so when you’re playing in vr you can

Teleport yourself forward and that’s sort of a little bit of a cheat you don’t want to get banned from something like hypixel like how the mystical has got banned three times on that already i got banned on three accounts on hypixel oh nice got a hacker here

Yeah you don’t want that so that’s everything you need to know in setting up minecraft java edition on your oculus quest 1 or 2. and remember you can use your oculus quest 1 cable to actually use it as a pc vr link cable although you can’t do this with the

Quest 2 because it’s just too short but if you are interested in checking out what equipment and what different pieces of tech i use i have them all linked in the description down below if you do use my links it does support the channel at no
