BeatCraft
A fan-made, faithful recreation of Beat Saber in Minecraft.
This mod was inspired by deep knowledge of how Beat Saber functions, created from members of the community who have been studying it for years.
Not only does this mod function like Beat Saber, it's also playable inside virtual reality using Vivecraft! This allows for a truly accurate experience, as you'll really be swinging your sabers physically in 3D space!
Experience a unique take on virtual reality's most popular rhythm game, all within the confines of the blocky sandbox we all know and love!
This mod is still in active development, please be patient about features that haven't been added yet, and report bugs to the github (check that it hasn't already been reported first please)
Features
- Play beatmaps that you can download in-game from BeatSaver.
- Built-in Chroma and Noodle Extensions ("Modchart") support.
- 3D-space menus for easy song selection and playing.
- Semi-accurate scoring.
Usage
You can craft sabers and a headset in game using iron, redstone, amethyst, leather, and red/blue dyes.
To interact with the menus, you must be holding a saber in your right hand.
If you want to interact with the menu outside of VR, the /fpfc [true|false] command will toggle positioning the sabers to the player head as in Beat Saber's FPFC mode.
Menu buttons are pressed by punching while holding a saber pointed at the button.
Recommended Settings

- Cheats enabled / Creative mode
- peaceful difficulty
- gamerule DoDaylightCycle set to false
- time set to midnight
