Immersive VR Essentials

A ModPack created Specifically for VR to be as realistic and Immersive as possible

Features

3D Inventory and Fullbody Tracking

This uses ImmersiveMC and Vivecraft, all menus and crafting are done in a 3D space in VR, Take a look at the Wiki for help on how to use it.

Vivecraft is also now Fullbody Tracking Compadable!

HAPTIC Feedback

If you have a Haptic Feedback Suit (bhaptics etc), you can feel rain on your body, getting punched by mobs, you'll feel every chop of a tree and every block you mine.

VR Only Server

There is now a VR Only server Included in this Modpack! Find it in the Server Menu! Locked to VR only, come join the fun of this growing server!

Textures and Resource Packs

The Primary Resource Pack in here is Patrix (edited so it works better with VR)

I included faithful x64 if you want a more classic look, so feel free to switch it out with that if you don't like the realistic feel of Patrix

There is also an optional lower quality version of Faithful included if you need more performance

Shaders

Primary shader in here is Sildurs on medium settings with it customized to look better in VR
I have Chopotic shaders on Low and Lite as options in the shader menu, feel free to switch it out with that as they run quite a bit better (there is a minor texture glitch on blocks with them though.. but your FPS will go up a ton if you're struggleing to run this at a stable fps)

Landscape, Structures, Biomes and Mobs

This has quite a bit more variety the vanilla game, You'll see better landscapes, more structures, more biomes, better dungeons ect. This is all done with vanilla blocks and doesn't have any annoying bloat or complicated crafting involved! It's just more variety and prettier views

In Game Voice Chat

Voice Chat is already pre installed. You can customize it in game using the B Button on your Controller (then go to voice chat Menu) So if you want to run this on a server you can already talk in game

No Complex crafting, No added Blocks

This Modpack is made to be Immersive and relaxing, not some complicated system where you have to craft a million things.

There are a few QOL Mods in here like waypoints, but no added blocks and all the crafting is the same as Vanilla

WORKS on Desktop(Flatscreen)

Although this is intended to be played in VR, it does work on flatscreen minecraft as well, so if you want to play with your friends on a server and they don't have VR, they can use this to see peoples Fullbody movement etc. Game is fully playable without a Headset, but you'll be missing out on some intended features.

Performance

This is going to largely depend on your System Specs..I do not lag at all.. but I have a fairly beefy system.

Specs:

RTX 4090

AMD 9950x

64GB 6000mhz RAM

I also use a Vive Pro eye with the Wireless adapter.. which tends to run better on PCVR apps then using a Quest over wifi. I have not tested this modpack with my Quest 3 yet, it should not make a huge difference as long as you have a decent system though.

Minimum System Requrements

I have no way to test this, It might work with lower system specs then this, but at a minimum I'm guessing you'll need:

RTX 3080

i9 or newier AMD Chip

32 GB RAM

This modpack needs at least 8GB Ram Dedicated to it.

Why no Distent Horizons?

The shader and landscape mods I'm using do not play well with Distent Horizon so thats why it's not included. You won't really notice it because of the fog and volumentirc lighting with the shader/landscape mods generating huge mountains and vistas, also Distent Horizons sort of wrecks preformance in VR

Installation

1. Download the modrinth App, download This this, then double click to install. Should be pretty strightforward

2. Important BEFORE you play, Make sure to set memory correctly. Go to the gear icon in the corner then Click on Java and Memory

Check on custom java Installation, custom Memory Allocation and **Set it to a minimum of 8192 **(you can also use more)

Click on Java arguments then Add this Line

-XX:+UseZGC

You should now be good to play this in VR

DO NOT UPDATE MODS IN THIS, YOUR GAME WILL BREAK

If there is an update out for a particular mod.. I'll update the pack, otherwise do not update individual mods. I'm using a couple of older versions of mods either because it didn't work well in VR.. or they were crashing with vivecraft.

Customization

To Customize Vivecraft settings you can find that in the VR Settings menu

To Customize Immersive MC (Change type of backpack, turn off features/bring back vanilla inventory etc) go to the mods Menu, then find ImmersiveMC and click on config, you can change and mess around with any settings here that you want

To customize the Waypoints Mod, go the mod menu, find waypoints and click on config, then find client

Voice Chat

To change voice chat settings, press the B button on your right controller, set your Mic and speakers to whatever (prob want to set speakers to your headset speakers and then mic to either headset or an external one if you're using that)

I would also recommend putting 3D Audio on Reduced otherwise you might notice it glitching out when close to other players as vivecraft already includes 3D audio

Time Control

If you want to change How long the Day and Nights are, you need to make a new world, then go to the mods menu and find the time control mod, click on config, then go to server settings, you can change the amound of time in seconds each is.

I recommend putting day at 3600 (1 Hour IRL Time for Day) the Default value for each is 600 (10 Minute day 10 Minute Night) but feel free to customize this to whatever

Adding Mods

Feel free to add whatever you want, just keep in mind not every mod is going to work great in VR.

This is using Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 I AM using Sinytra Connector in this, so most fabric mods can also be installed.. but not every one will work.. if you're adding fabric mods just do some trial and error

FAQ

I'm not sure how to access the Backpack or setup Fullbody tracking on VR
Take a look at the help section for Vivecraft and ImmersiveMC

Vivecraft Website

ImmersiveMC Wiki

Does this work in Multiplayer?

Yes! This should be fully compadable with servers, it already includes voice chat, just add the modpack to any server you want to use. Clients will need to have this installed as well for this to work though.

In fact I recently launched a VR Only server! Find it in the server menu!

Why 1.20.1? Why not newier versions of Minecraft?
Some of the mods in here ONLY work on 1.20.1 or older.. so thats the main reason. At some point I may look into making an alternative version of this for newier versions of minecraft if there is enough interest.

Why are you using Forge and not Fabric/NeoForge
A large percentage of mods (and VR Specific Mods) in this are Forge Only. I'm using Sinytra connector in this so tons of Fabric Mods DO work. The connector ONLY works on forge... not the other way around. Until Fabric/NeoForge modding becomes more advanced, In my honest opnion there isn't a huge benefit to switching, you'll just be loosing out on the ability to use tons of mods for a tiny performance gain. If the mods that I'm using in this gets converted to Fabric or better alternatives become available, I'll consider switching.

Until then, Forge+Sinytra connector is currently the Best way to mod Minecraft IMHO, you're getting the ability to Install basically ANY mod for minecraft without having to worry about different loaders.

I'm having trouble getting this to work

This should work with other modloaders not just modrinth, but if you really can't get it to work properly, I have the loose files here. Just drop them into your .minecraft folder
