ViveInterface

Bring parts of the Vivecraft HUD into your VR world.

What does this mod do?

ViveInterface lets you cut individual sections out of the Vivecraft HUD and place them anywhere in
VR — on your hands, on your head, or floating in the world. Instead of keeping every UI element
locked to one flat panel in front of you, you can put important information where it feels natural.

Cut pieces keep mirroring the live HUD, so a minimap on your wrist stays up to date, and the region
you cut is hidden from the flat panel so nothing is drawn twice.

How to use it

1. Open the cut screen. Press N on the keyboard, or — for VR — add ViveInterface’s
   Open cut screen key to Vivecraft’s radial menu, which is how you reach it in a headset.
2. Drag a box over the HUD with the pointer and press Cut. That region lifts out as a
   floating panel in front of you. Cut as many as you like, then press Done.
3. Move pieces with your hands. Reach a hand into a piece — it turns green — and squeeze to grab
   it. Let go and it stays put. Let go touching your other hand or your head and it sticks there
   and follows you. Reach across with the other hand to take it back off.

Pieces also lie flat against walls and floors instead of sinking into them, and stick to each
other, so you can build a multi-panel dashboard that moves as one.

Currently supported attachment points

• 🖐️ Left hand
• 🖐️ Right hand
• 👤 Head
• 🧱 Any block surface

Support for additional body locations is planned. Waist, elbows, knees and feet.

Notice

• AI was used in the development of this mod.
• This is a beta. It works end to end, but expect rough edges.
• Detached panels mirror the Vivecraft HUD in real time. The cost is one framebuffer copy per frame
  while VR is active — this is roughly the same whether you have one panel or ten, since each panel
  itself is only a single textured quad. On lower-end machines that per-frame copy may still cost
  you some frames.
