## Ender Real Life

If you've been jonesing to try building, mining, and fighting Creepers in Minecraft with your own two hands, you're in luck! A group of developers using the name QuestCraft have released an unofficial port of Minecraft to the Meta Quest headset this week, [along with instructions](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2amKbJ09HI&t=1s>) on how to download and install.

According to [VR industry news outlet *Road* *to VR*](<https://www.roadtovr.com/minecraft-quest-2-release-download/>), Minecraft was already available on every VR headset besides the Quest. If you've never seen Minecraft VR in action, [VR Scout posted an excellent preview](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maof5m2LS9o>) on YouTube to get you pumped about QuestCraft.

## Hack and Slash

The only downside is that installation is a minor slog. You’ll need a copy of *Minecraft Java Edition*, but installing and playing it on Quest is free. Install SideQuest on your Quest headset and log in to your Microsoft account.

For full installation instructions and a helpful video tutorial, we'd recommend visiting [the official QuestCraft site](<https://sidequestvr.com/app/7150/questcraft>). The game also has decent reviews, with 3.8 stars out of 5 and 141 ratings so far.

"Incredible work. Well done team; this is really a great app. Haven't tested it too much, but the first few minutes were perfect," [one user commented](<https://sidequestvr.com/app/7150/questcraft/r/64759/mike-miller>).

Go forth and craft, fellow nerds!
