How to Install Vivecraft Client for Minecraft Version 1.18

If you're looking to install the Vivecraft client for Minecraft version 1.18, follow these instructions carefully. Please note that this version no longer receives updates and may not include all the features described on this site.

To start, head over to CurseForge or ModRinth to download and find instructions for this specific version of Vivecraft. For those interested in using Vivecraft with Minecraft 1.18.X or 1.19.X, there is a mixin-based mod available for Forge or Fabric.

If you're looking to set up a multiplayer server compatible with Vivecraft, please refer to the Multiplayer page on our site. The VR and NONVR clients share the same setup instructions, and all downloads can be found in the Assets section of GitHub. Clicking on the links will take you directly to the release page for each file.

There are four different downloads available for each version of Vivecraft: the Forge server mod, which enables animations on a Forge server; the Spigot plugin, which does the same for Spigot servers; the NonVR (2D) Client, designed for desktop players who want to see VR animations or host LAN games; and the VR Client, the primary mod for VR players.

It's essential to note that not all versions of Vivecraft support the same VR features or allow Forge mods. However, every version includes Optifine, which adds shader support, dynamic lights, and other graphical enhancements to Minecraft.

Before installing Vivecraft, ensure your PC meets the minimum requirements:

* A dedicated GPU

* Either standing motion controls or a keyboard and mouse

* A gaming laptop that has been specifically configured to use its dedicated GPU for Minecraft (Integrated Intel graphics are not supported)

Additionally, you'll need:

* A SteamVR-compatible headset such as the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift S, Valve Index, or Windows MR

* Non-VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 1 or 2, GearVR, Google Cardboard, Vive Focus, or PSVR with proper SteamVR emulation software installed and configured

* Steam with SteamVR installed and set up

By following these instructions and meeting the minimum requirements, you'll be ready to install and enjoy the Vivecraft client for Minecraft version 1.18.
