Downloads

Vivecraft is available for several Minecraft versions. All versions contain Optifine which adds shaders support, dynamic lights, and other graphical improvements. All versions can be played online. Not all versions support the same VR features or support Forge mods.

There are 4 downloads available for each version.
– The VR Client is the main mod for VR players.
– The NonVR (2D) Client is for desktop players who wish to see VR animations or LAN-host.
– The Spigot plugin is to enable animations on a Spigot server.
– the Forge server mod is to enable animations on a Forge server.

The links will take you to the release page for that file. The downloads are in the Assets section on github. The VR and NONVR clients use the same page.

Please see the Multiplayer page for instructions on setting up a Vivecraft-compatible multiplayer server.

Installing Vivecraft

Installation is easy. Follow these instructions to install the Vivecraft client. Installation is the same the first time you install and for updates. You can install Vivecraft multiple times with different options with no issue.

1. Run the Minecraft Launcher on your PC at least once to make the game folders. You don’t need to actually launch the game. Close the launcher.
2. Make sure the Minecraft Launcher is NOT running.
3. Run the Vivecraft Installer. Note the installation option checkboxes
   • Hover your mouse over each option to see what it does. Generally you should leave the defaults.
   • If you want support for Forge mods check the Forge box. If the installer cannot detect Forge already installed it will download and run the installer for you
   • Do not allocate more RAM than you need. 4gb is more than sufficient for all but the largest modpacks.
4. Click install. The program will download some files and set up your launcher profile.
5. If you are running on a laptop. Make sure to force the high-performance processor in the gpu control panel. See the faq for more details.
