He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.Minecraft’s official support for virtual reality and mixed reality devices is over. Mojang announced last year that Minecraft would stop supporting VR headsets after March 2025, and per today’s Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.21.80 Update patch notes, that support has been removed, as reported by PCWorld.When Mojang announced the end of support for VR in October, it said that you’ll still get updates on your PC, you’ll still be able to play without a VR / MR device, and that you’ll be able to continue building worlds or use any Marketplace purchases. At the time, Mojang’s reasoning for removing support was that “our ability to support VR / MR devices has come to an end.”However, there are still ways to play Minecraft on a VR headset, if you’d like. If you have the Java version of the game for PC, you can use a mod like Vivecraft, which works on many VR platforms, or QuestCraft, a port specific to Meta Quest headsets.Still, I’m a little sad to see official VR support ending for Minecraft, especially if you, like me, can remember the incredibly impressive Minecraft demo for HoloLens from way back in the day.
