MoltenVR Preview 0.3.0

7-day free preview. Play PCVR games on an Apple Silicon Mac, streamed to any ALVR headset.

Download MoltenVR-Preview-v0.3.0.zip, unzip, drag MoltenVR.app to /Applications, open it.

New in 0.3.0

  • One-click Minecraft VR (Vivecraft) — the Games tab detects instances from Prism
    Launcher, MultiMC, PolyMC, ManyMC, UltimMC and Fjord Launcher
    , plus Vivecraft profiles
    in the official Minecraft Launcher. Enable VR installs the native OpenVR shim and
    wires the JVM args (LWJGL native path + the required -XX:+UseZGC), and Launch starts
    it straight into the headset. Fully native — no Wine involved. Instances without the
    Vivecraft jar stay tucked away in a collapsed list.
  • About window — version, credits, and third-party licenses.
  • First-run bottle creation built into the setup wizard.

Setup for Minecraft VR

  1. Use your launcher of choice — Prism Launcher is the tested
    path (1.21.1 + Fabric/Quilt); MultiMC-family forks and the official launcher work too.
  2. Drop the Vivecraft jar into the instance's mods/
    folder (official launcher: run the Vivecraft installer instead).
  3. MoltenVR → Games → your instance appears under Minecraft VREnable VRLaunch.

Known limitations

  • D3DMetal (GPTK4) crashes most games — use DXMT.
  • Desktop view is head-locked; no mic return yet.
  • Preview build: fully functional for 7 days from first launch.
