The most recent feature update for ''Minecraft'' on Gear VR devices is the [[Minecraft:Nether Update]].

== Development ==
The idea of ''Minecraft'' for Gear VR devices first started in 2014 with {{wikipedia|John Carmack}}, who at the time was the CTO of {{wikipedia|Reality Labs|Oculus}}. He tweeted the following, 7 months after Notch initially recused Oculus:<ref>{{tweet|notch|448586381565390848|We were in talks about maybe bringing a version of Minecraft to Oculus. I just cancelled that deal. Facebook creeps me out.|March 25, 2014}}</ref>
{{Quote|@notch @brendaniribe say the word, ship the source, and i'll make sure It runs well on you-know-what...|John Carmack|porting ''Minecraft'' to Oculus Rift<ref>{{tweet|ID_AA_Carmack|532308763177664513}}</ref>}}

In 2015, John Carmack announced that Oculus Rift support would come to [[Minecraft:Windows 10 Edition|''Windows 10 Edition'']] the following year, but has said that a Gear VR edition is on the way and is essentially being ported from ''[[Minecraft:Pocket Edition]]'':
{{Quote|@Kithop @_tomcc it isn't Win 10 only, it is also GearVR, which the java code was never going to run effectively on. Not Mac/Linux, true.|John Carmack|porting ''Minecraft'' to Oculus Rift and Gear VR<ref>{{tweet|ID_AA_Carmack|652163573787963392}}</ref>}}

''Minecraft: Gear VR Edition'' was then confirmed to be released in spring.<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.polygon.com/2016/3/17/11256944/minecraft-gear-vr-john-carmack|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.polygon.com/2016/3/17/11256944/minecraft-gear-vr-john-carmack/|title=Hands-on with Minecraft for the Gear VR, and why it’s John Carmack’s favorite platform|website=Polygon|date=March 17, 2016|author=Charlie Hall}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=https://time.com/4260664/minecraft-vr-release-date-john-carmack/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://time.com/4260664/minecraft-vr-release-date-john-carmack/|title=John Carmack Told Us What Makes Minecraft VR So Special|website=Time|date=March 16, 2016|author=Matt Peckham}}</ref>
