Visor

Crafted by VR enthusiasts for players and developers alike

Attention! the Visor is on early development stage and if you want to help this project grow, join our Visor Mod Community.

Every time you update the mod to newer version, it is highly recommended to remove config/Visor folder from minecraft instance, since each version of Visor during early development stage contains a lot of changes with a good chance of config files incompatibility. Exception is the patches (x.x.0 -> x.x.1)

Some options are only configurable in config/Visor/settings.yml and config/Visor/server_settings.yml

Recommended addons

• VisorEssentials

What is Visor?

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.

Why use Visor?

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 an 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 – Allows customizing 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. Any custom or overridden 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 the support of addons, can be highly customized to the player’s preferred experience.

Project principles

The project is guided by the following principles:

• 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.

• Platform-first: Every non-essential feature lives in an addon.
  You decide what's in your game; we build the foundation.

• Readable Code: The codebase is built to be understood, not just to
  work.
