Mojang has just killed support for Minecraft VR, an underrated but very flawed VR experience

Mojang has announced the discontinuation of VR support for Minecraft, with plans to cease support by March 2025 and a suspension of VR functionality that occurred in May. The transition away from VR has received mixed reactions, as the experience was often described as temperamental and underwhelming. Alternatives like Vivecraft, a fan-supported mod, allow players to enjoy Minecraft in VR on PCs, but come with challenges such as requiring additional setup and coordination among friends. The decision to discontinue support likely stems from Minecraft's evolving nature, which complicates development and leads to the obsolescence of older versions.

Adults review: Jack Black energizes the bizarre ‘Minecraft Movie’

“A Minecraft Movie” features Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, played by Jason Momoa, a washed-up gaming champion in Idaho. The film introduces Henry, a new student portrayed by Sebastian Hansen, who builds a malfunctioning jet pack that destroys a statue. Directed by Jared Hess, the film stars Jack Black as Steve, a mining enthusiast who discovers a portal to the Overworld. In this realm, Steve can reshape landscapes and craft weapons while facing dangers like skeletons and creepers. He tames a wolf named “Dennis” and is later imprisoned in the Nether, prompting Garrison, Henry, and two companions to rescue him. Jennifer Coolidge plays a vice principal with a subplot involving an Overworld villager. The film combines CGI visuals with humor, showcasing dynamic performances that enhance its quirky narrative.

Frosthaven’s weighty tabletop tactics are coming to PC in early access this year

The game tutorial introduces players to key mechanics such as card selection for actions, the use of "burn" cards for temporary boosts, and the importance of positioning and teamwork. Players must manage their actions carefully, especially in prolonged battles. The author played as a "Banner Spear," a class that specializes in spear attacks and benefits from strategic positioning. During gameplay, the author learned the significance of advanced strategies and teamwork, particularly with a partner playing as a Deathwalker who utilized summons. An incident occurred where the author attempted to collect loot but forgot the rule that requires ending a turn on a hex to do so. The game's visual elements and user experience were praised, with expectations for improvements during the early access phase driven by community feedback.

This announcement marks a significant shift in Rockstar's approach to modding, moving towards support rather than restriction.
