Visor is an open-source mod for Minecraft Java Edition, designed to work with popular mod loaders, that brings the full Minecraft experience into Virtual Reality (VR).
VR is run through OpenXR, which allows you to play from any VR runtime supporting OpenXR, including SteamVR.
Visor is built to be simple, not overcrowded with features, and easily modifiable by addons.
From a player’s perspective, it is more intuitive to play and, with support of addons, can be highly customized to the player’s preferred experience.
The project aims to provide Minecraft VR developers with a core mod that is both easily modifiable and extendable with addons, while also enhancing the overall experience for VR players.
To achieve this, the project is guided by the following principles:
-
Lightweight: No unnecessary elements that increase complexity for either players or developers.
-
Vanilla-Based: Avoids non-vanilla features to serve as a solid foundation for other projects.
-
Server logic optional: Ensures you can play on servers not supporting Visor through plugin or mod. (exception are the servers using strong anti-cheat plugins banning for unusual movements caused by VR)
-
Readable Code: Prioritizes easily understandable code and a clean architecture.
-
Addon-Friendly: Designed to be highly modifiable by addons.
-
VR-Focused: Recognizes that Minecraft Java is primarily developed for PC, and some of its parts may not translate seamlessly to VR. Where necessary, these parts are modified to ensure they provide a good VR player experience.
Visor is in an open beta development stage.
While the core functionality has been implemented, it hasn’t been tested enough.
Because I solo-developed such a big mod to the current state, I recognize that there may be various minor in-game issues and areas of the code that require further refinement to fully meet the project’s principles.
