The idea of Minecraft for Gear VR devices first started in 2014 with Template:Wikipedia, who at the time was the CTO of Template:Wikipedia. He tweeted the following, 7 months after Notch initially recused Oculus:<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
"@notch @brendaniribe say the word, ship the source, and i'll make sure It runs well on you-know-what...
In 2015, John Carmack announced that Oculus Rift support would come to 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:
"@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.
Minecraft: Gear VR Edition was then confirmed to be released in spring.<ref>Template:Cite</ref><ref>Template:Cite</ref>
