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.

Microsoft has discontinued support for virtual reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) in Minecraft with the release of Bedrock Edition version 1.21.80. This decision is part of a broader strategy to phase out its MR technology. Players can still use the Vivecraft mod to play Minecraft on Oculus or Windows MR devices, but this requires the original PC Java version of the game. Microsoft announced that VR/MR support would end after March 2025 and assured players that updates for the non-VR version would continue, along with access to Marketplace purchases.

Users of the Meta Quest 3 will soon be able to access the full capabilities of Windows 11 through their VR headsets, but the Quest 3 will not run Windows natively. Instead, it will stream content from a personal Windows 11 PC or a Windows Cloud PC via a Windows 365 subscription, aimed primarily at professional users. This feature will enter public preview in December and allows users to connect to a multiple-monitor workstation seamlessly. The Quest 3 series will compete with the Apple Vision Pro, which is marketed as a spatial computer. Users will be able to set up multiple virtual monitors in their field of view, and while gesture control details are unclear, it may draw inspiration from the Vision Pro. Current third-party applications like Virtual Desktop and Immersed are popular among Quest users for productivity. The Quest 3 has a contextual resolution of about 25 pixels per degree, compared to the Vision Pro's 34 pixels per degree, affecting the clarity of text-heavy virtual screens.
