by Lyzantra

Nostalgic Reality (BTVR) brings virtual reality controls to Beta Tweaks VR with gesture-driven actions for Babric BTA builds of b1.7.3.

What it does

The mod ports virtual reality support into the game through the Babric loader, adding hand gestures for swinging the arm, switching hotbar slots and carrying out other actions. Digging and attacking can be done with food items, and a virtual keyboard allows typing in-game. Teleportation mechanics and menu world navigation are included, along with a set of less important but still useful menu actions.

The project is client-side only, so players install it on their own game and servers do not need it. Its code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for b1.7.3 only, and snapshot builds are published as well. The author lists some future plans, although none are described on the Modrinth page.

Key features

  1. Gesture-based hotbar switching

    Hotbar slots change through hand gestures instead of key presses or the mouse wheel.

  2. Arm swing actions

    Some actions trigger from a swinging motion of the arm, so the in-world controls follow the player's movement.

  3. Food for digging and attacks

    Digging and attacking can be performed using food items in place of the usual tools.

  4. Virtual keyboard

    A virtual keyboard lets the player type text while the game runs in virtual reality.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

Use cases

Playing in virtual reality

Players who run the game with VR hardware can use gesture controls for building, fighting and navigating menus.

Who it’s for: Players who want to play the game in virtual reality, using the Babric loader, and who are comfortable with gesture-based controls.
