Visor is an open-source mod for Minecraft Java Edition, designed to work with popular mod loaders, that brings the full Minecraft experience into Virtual Reality (VR).
VR is run through OpenXR, which allows you to play from any VR runtime supporting OpenXR, including SteamVR.
Visor is built to be not overcrowded with features modifying vanilla (only necessary), and easily modifiable by addons.
It also includes unique and powerful features.
These are the most interesting:
-
VR overlays.. In Visor every GUI element is overlay. Developers can easily create custom overlays without worrying about low-level implementation — focus entirely on visuals and logic!
-
VR overlay templates. Regular players can customize their own overlays, depending on the templates provided by Visor and installed addons.
-
Built-in VR keybindings settings. Allow to customize VR keybindings in a convenient user-friendly menu.
-
VR Decorators. Developers can fully control which VR elements are displayed, including hands, overlays, hand/game effects. So, whatever custom/overriden visuals can be added
-
VR Hand and Game effects. Developers can create effects that are attached to the player or their hands.
From a player’s perspective, it is more intuitive to play and, with support of addons, can be highly customized to the player’s preferred experience.
The project is guided by the following principles:
-
Platform-first: Every non-essential feature lives in an addon. You decide what’s in your game; we build the foundation.
-
Lightweight: No unnecessary features overcomplicating the core. Easier to maintain, easier to extend.
-
Vanilla-Based: Stays close to vanilla Minecraft so addons and projects build on a stable foundation.
-
User-friendly: Intuitive to play, good UI, no unnecessary options and just common sense.
-
Readable Code: The codebase is built to be understood, not just to work.
