Steps are general until you ; then the runtime step matches your headset.

  1. Set your VR runtime

    Pick your OpenXR runtime: the Meta Horizon Link app for Link or Air Link, Virtual Desktop's VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR for Index, Beyond and Pico.

    General step from us

  2. Install Minecraft: Java Edition (Minecraft launcher)

    Install it and launch it once in flat mode to finish first-time setup, then quit. The creator says it needs Release tag 26.3-1.3.17; NeoForge builds require 26.3.0.35-beta or newer (release notes).

Black screen in the headset

This mod uses OpenXR. Check the active OpenXR runtime matches how you connect (the Set your VR runtime step), then start Link or Virtual Desktop before the game. General tip from us

Controllers don't show up

Start Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR before the game, and make sure the controllers are awake before launch. General tip from us

Stutter or low frame rate

Lower the in-game resolution or render scale first, then shadows and volumetrics. Close overlays you don't need. General tip from us

The mod didn't load at all

Recheck the game version against the creator's page; a game update is the most common cause. Then reinstall the mod files. General tip from us
