FAQ

How do I play in VR?

In the main menu, there is now a button on the rightside of the usual buttons saying “VR: Off”. Just switch that to on whenever you want to get in VR.

Can I play in VR with my friends who are not in VR and will they see my VR movement?

Yes.

What VR headsets are supported?

Generally, every SteamVR-capable headset will be able to run it. For more information check the Vivecraft page.

How does crafting work in VR?

You approach the crafting table, equip the items needed for crafting (e.g. sticks) and move your hand on the top of the crafting table. At that point you will see 3×3 grid appear on the top of the crafting table. Just move your hand to the place on the grid and press the trigger button. Then map out your crafting recipe and when it’s done the finished item (e.g. a pickaxe) will appear floating over the crafting table. At that point just grab it.

Can I switch between playing in VR and in Non-VR mid-game?

Yes. Just take your headset off and move to your PC. It should switch automatically. If not turn VR off in the main menu.

How does the sanity system work?

The mod page for it has all the info you need.

Do shaders work in VR?

Yes.

Does the voice chat work in VR?

While I haven’t done extensive testing on it, it should definitely work (more info coming soon).

It tells me to add Garbage Collector to my Java arguments when I go in VR. How do I do that?

That process depends on your launcher. However just look for a field called “Java Arguments” and paste this in: -XX:+UseZGC
This should give some PCs a performance boost. If it does the opposite for you feel free to remove it.

How do I change the keybinds on my VR controller?

When opening the SteamVR overlay inside VR you should see Vivecraft pop up with a button called “Controller settings”. In there you can customize the controller keybinds.
