    Has there been any progress on this ? We are considering VR headsets at our school, and having Education Edition in VR would be a huge selling point.

  • Yes, what is the status of VR in Minecraft EDU?

    In agreement, we have VR in our school and would love to tout Minecraft as an asset. Please make this happen as soon as possible. Looking forward to walking through Ancient Rome with my 6th Graders!

    Agree.

    I am convinced that Virtual Reality will be essential for the future of education. I would love to see Minecraft EDU get in on the ground floor.

    Thanks for the feedback!  I'll definitely pass this on to our product team.  Some of our customers have reported success with VR systems that are PC based, which is something you can check out.

    Thanks Penny,

    Our school has invested in:
    ClassVR systems (good classroom management, but the hardware has a ways to go)
    Oculus GOs (A step up from the ClassVRs, but the single control and lack of 6dof is limiting, and managing 20 odd can be difficult)
    Oculus Quest (Great hardware and affordable, but locked into the Oculus ecosystem). Minecraft EDU would be great on these!
    And one HTC Vive Pro. We could buy the windows 10 version of Minecraft with VR support, but obviously, the EDU version has benefits over this as a learning tool. We also have MANY Minecraft EDU licenses.

    I appreciate your dedication to supporting innovative and engaging learning experiences for the kids.

    Kind regards,

    Andrew

    I would like to support this request. VR has alot of promise in education, and considering that the Minecraft EDU edition is targeted towards schools, I would love to see comparability added.

    I so want to use VR with programming in the classroom and for age 12-15 Minecraft would be ideal. How cool to write the code and then 'step inside' the world to see it! Please consider adding VR capability ASAP:)

    la nostra scuola sta valutando l'utilizzo di Minecraft Education. Il VR sarebbe una risorsa fondamentale, vorrei sapere se è in cantiere un progetto in tal senso

    4 years ago, someone thought this might be a good idea (see the first post in this thread). We have a lot of vr headsets connected to windows computers with MEE installed at our schoolboard in Ontario, a STEM forward jurisdiction. We also would love to add the pedagogical power of Minecraft to our arsenal of teaching tools to prepare kids for the not so distant future (4 years more or less).

    We have an immersive Classroom and would love to be able to get Minecraft EE working in there. Is there any progress on this being available in VR now the standard version is VR compatible?

  • I don't know if it helps, but when I was looking through the options file in Minecraft Education Edition, there were many (and I mean many) files with VR included at the start of the option.

    We have purchased HTV Vive Pro 2's, and have been finding ways to utilize them best.  We have Minecraft for Education accounts, but still don't see a way to get VR into them.  Is this still not an option 4 years later?

    I am working on converting Minecraft Education world data to Minecraft Java Edition world data and exploring the world in VR with QuestCraft.

    A separate Java Edition license is required.

    Some incompatible blocks will disappear, but if you can tolerate this, you can use VR in the world you have built.

  • You could also use a BE addon for VR in theory.
