Ender an era.

“Our ability to support VR/MR devices has come to an end, and will no longer be supported in updates after March of 2025,” Mojang wrote in a notice buried midway through itspatch notes for Minecraft’s latest Bedrock 1.21.40 update.

But while Mojang is waving goodbye to VR in an official capacity (meaning no PSVR2 support forMinecraft’s newly launched native PS5 release), all is not lost for VR-loving Minecraft players on PC.

As noted byRoad to VR, virtual reality support can still be modded into Minecraft’s Java edition usingVivecraft(which supports LAN and server multiplayer, but isn’t compatible with official servers or console cross-play), and there’s alsoQuestcraftfor Meta’s Quest headsets.

As for everything else in Minecraft’s Bedrock 1.21.40 update, there’s the full launch of Mojang’s previously experimental Bundles feature - which gives players a way to stack different blocks or items together in the same inventory slot to save space - and a new Hardcore mode, all detailed in the studio’s latest patch notes.

This follows Mojang’s recent decision toditch its traditional single summer Minecraft updatein favour of multiple content drops throughout the year.
