Vivecraft can be used to join and play on any Java Minecraft server of the same version. However, unless the server has been specifically modified to support VR, there are some limitations. See next section.
Realms servers cannot be modified.

Some servers may have anti-cheat software that blocks Vivecraft completely (like Hypixel) or Vivecraft players due to unnatural movements.

Vivecraft has a VR and a NonVR client. A Vivecraft client and a modded server are both required for VR animation support.
If you’re looking for a VR ready server to play on, see you Visit the server listings page.
Vivecraft limitations on vanilla servers
- VR animations are not supported. VR players appear as normal players.
- Teleporting may not be allowed. Vivecraft will notify you if you enable teleport mode and the server has not indicated that it is supported. Attempting to teleport in this case will result in “rubberbanding” back to your original location.
- Arrows and projectiles will spawn in your face, not your controller. Aim accordingly. Arrow speed may also not be as expected.
- The direction your player model faces varies by activity and does not follow the HMD direction.
- Endermen aggro will use crosshairs and not line of sight.
- Creeper aggro will be normal instead of at the reduced range that fights in Space allows.
Hosting Options for VR Ready Servers
Setting up a Minecraft server is beyond the scope of this website, but here is a quick overview of the Options available to new users do this.
- LAN Hosting
- If you are playing on multiple computers on the same network, either the VR – or the NonVR Vivecraft client can be used to host a VR enabled game.
- To do this, simply upload your world and then select “Open To LAN” from the pause menu. The other clients should find the LAN game automatically.
- There are software solutions for creating “Virtual LANs” such as Hamachi or ZeroTier. These allow remote computers to behave as if they are on the same LAN.
- Self-hosting
- You can create a Minecraft server on your PC or another PC on your network. Other players would then connect to your public IP address.
- You usually need to forward the correct ports in your router to do this.
- You would normally use a spigot server. Click the link for instructions on setting up the server, then simply add the Vivecraft Spigot Extensions plugin.
- Remote Hosting
- There are many, many ways to sign up for hosting services. The cost and options available vary by host. Almost all third-party hosts allow modded servers.
- Note that Mojang’s “realms” servers do not allow mods.
- Normally you would request a spigot server. Most hosters allow you to upload your own plugins to the server. Some well-known plugin repositories will do this for you

Spigot is a pure server modding platform and is the most common choice. Spigot modifications are called plugins. Spigot derivatives like Paper should also work, but the Vivecraft plugin is designed specifically for Spigot and definitely doesn’t work with Craftbukkit.
BungeeCord is an extension of Spigot that makes it possible seamless switching of servers in the game. You need to place the Vivecraft BungeeCord Extensions plugin on the proxy server to properly distribute VR animation data.
Forge is a very extensive client/server modding Platform. Forge servers are typically used to play with a very specific set of mods that all players must use or they will not be able to connect. In general, you wouldn’t use a Forge server just for Vivecraft.
