FAQ

Does Foottroller work in Minecraft VR?
Yes on PCVR with Vivecraft. Foottroller handles walking and running; hands stay free to mine, place blocks, and use items.

Do I need Vivecraft?
For the setup on this page, yes. Vivecraft puts Java Minecraft in SteamVR. Foottroller then drives locomotion through SteamVR bindings or Hub. Vanilla desktop Minecraft without Vivecraft is not VR.

Does it work on Quest standalone (Bedrock)?
This page documents Vivecraft on PC. Quest standalone Minecraft only works if that build accepts a Bluetooth gamepad for movement. Don’t assume it matches the Vivecraft demo. For general Quest pairing, see the setup guide.

SteamVR or OpenXR?
Use the SteamVR path shown in the video: Foottroller driver + Hub + Minecraft/Vivecraft bindings. OpenXR/VDXR is for other titles unless you have a tested Minecraft OpenXR setup.

Can I still use my hands?
Yes. Foottroller replaces the move stick, not the hands. Punch, mine, build, and menus stay on the VR controllers.

Four-way movement control or walk-in-place?
Four-way control (Foottroller operation mode 1) uses foot tilt to move forward, back, left, and right, so you can change direction quickly. Walk-in-place (Foottroller operation mode 2) sets speed from your steps and feels more like exploring on foot. For roaming the Minecraft world, use walk-in-place. Use four-way when you need tight, fast strafing or precise starts and stops.

Will I walk through blocks?
Movement is still the game’s locomotion. Collisions are normal Minecraft/Vivecraft collisions. Tune speed in Hub or bindings if you overshoot doorways.

What do I need?
Minecraft Java edition, PCVR headset, SteamVR, Vivecraft, Foottroller, Foottroller Hub/driver installed, and the Minecraft binding profile (provided).
