Mojang has officially removed VR and mixed reality (MR) support for Minecraft in the latest Bedrock Edition 1.21.80 update, confirming what was announced last year: Minecraft’s official journey in VR has come to a close. Thanks to the open and flexible nature of Minecraft Java Edition, modders have stepped in to fill the void. For standalone VR fans, QuestCraft enables Minecraft Java to run directly on Meta Quest headsets. The removal of VR support recalls a moment of promise and potential from earlier days—especially the 2015 HoloLens demo, which showcased Minecraft as one of the most immersive and futuristic gaming experiences of its time. Since then, Minecraft VR had carved out a niche following, particularly among players who loved the immersive perspective and presence that VR offered in survival and creative modes.
