Minecraft Meets Omni Virtual Reality Rig, PC Game Gets new Launcher


Minecraft may not be the most thrilling experience, but all that walking is the only thing the Omni virtual reality device requires. Above: Two Omni developers take Minecraft multiplayer on an adventure. They show the high-voltage walking, running and jumping that users can expect in VR.



Omni Kickstarter still has 20 days left before the deadline, and is currently at $970,000 of the $150,000 goal.



Minecraft now has a new launcher on PC, accessible to everyone who doesn't have an Omni setup - and those who do have one. The new launcher is required to play the most recent version, Minecraft 1.6 and any future updates. The new interface can accommodate multiple usernames within a single Mojang account, however the feature isn't currently available through Mojang its own website.



The new system will update itself automatically without the need to perform these pesky manual updates and single-player content is accessible offline.  WIKIMEDIA Players must be online for this to happen, or the launcher will attempt to reach the Minecraft servers.
