Mojang is making a huge mistake with Minecraft VR

Official VR support for Minecraft is now dead, and that's a big calculation error on Mojang's part.

In his weekly column, Android Central Senior Content Producer Nick Sutrich delves into all things VR, from new hardware to new games, upcoming technologies, and so much more. Back in 2020, then Oculus CTO John Carmack famously got Minecraft running on the Quest"with full positional tracking," something Mojang already had working just fine on the PC side of things. I'd probably lose money if I bet on that, but there's a very real expectation that these third-party Meta Horizon OS-powered headsets should be launching later this year to compete with the official release of Android XR, and this would tie in perfectly with those announcements.
