How To Launch Minecraft Windows 10 In Vr

Today, Microsoft released Minecraft version 1.2.552.0, which includes support for Windows Mixed Reality. Simply plug in any supported Windows Mixed Reality headset and you can dive right into an immersive Minecraft experience.

Microsoft has already started implementing VR in Minecraft using the Oculus and Gear headsets, but the introduction of Windows Mixed Reality headsets is Microsoft's attempt to VR more accessible to Windows 10 users. This is because Windows Mixed Reality is designed to support less powerful equipment, have a lower price point, and make it easier to setup with built-in tracking sensors in the headset rather than as standalone devices.

The below video, though recorded using Oculus headsets, demonstrates the existing VR experience in Minecraft.

With Windows 10 edition you can play using the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive. From what I understand, only Gear VR is supported in Pocket Edition. Last edited by LloydAZ: Aug 4, 2017. Open your task manager and go to services: Look for Wuauserv, or Windows update, look to the right to see if it's status is running or stopped. Last suggestion I have this early, is go to your actual Windows. Minecraft Realms; REALMS-7288; Cannot start Minecraft VR windows 10.

Also included in this update is integration of Microsoft's live-streaming service called Mixer. This allows Minecrafters to easily stream their sessions without 3rd party software.

The full list of changes in this version of Minecraft can be found below:

It may have some quirks, since this is not by Mojang themselves.

Although the Rift Cat is $15, it is worth it since it can be used with all Steam Vr Games, it's cheaper that a real VR headset. Although not all games work very good with it.
