Before reading, please take this into consideration:
You won't be forced to see other players move around in VR because of this plugin. (explained down there)
What is Vivecraft?
from Vivecraft's website:The Spigot plugin allows players on the server who have the mod installed to see each-other's real-world movements.
The Non-VR client is a simple 2D version of Vivecraft that allow seeing VR players head and arm movements which can be used on LAN or any server running a a Vivecraft server plugin.
Why should I want it?
If you have a SteamVR-supported headset, you can play room-scale Minecraft where you can move your hands freely, punch a block, dig straight down, build a house, climb a wall, talk to people -- anything you can do with a mouse, keyboard and monitor.

Why shouldn't I want it?
The Spigot plugin is specifically for people who have the client mod installed and want to see each-other ingame. This does not affect players that do not have the mod, and should not have a huge impact on server performance. However, if you do not want it, don't install the client mod.

What is Vivecraft?
from Vivecraft's website:
Vivecraft is a mod that turns Minecraft into an exceptional VR experience in room-scale or seated play.
The Non-VR client is a simple 2D version of Vivecraft that allow seeing VR players head and arm movements which can be used on LAN or any server running a a Vivecraft server plugin.
Why should I want it?
If you have a SteamVR-supported headset, you can play room-scale Minecraft where you can move your hands freely, punch a block, dig straight down, build a house, climb a wall, talk to people -- anything you can do with a mouse, keyboard and monitor.
from Vivecraft's website:
- Full roomscale support: Walk around your room as you mine and build. Blocks in Minecraft are 1 meter in size. You’ll be amazed how big they really are!
- World scaling: Scale your size in the world up or down. Play as an ant or a giant!
- Break blocks and fight by swinging your hands!
- Shoot your bow by drawing and aiming two-handed!
- Climb, swim, run, jump, sneak, eat, and row by actually doing the motion!
- Feed animals, mount horses, and fill buckets just by touching!
- Play with your friends and see each other’s VR movements. (even for 2d players!)
- Multiple VR locomotion options for your preferred playstyle
- Arc teleportation (with optional limitations for a balanced survival experience).
- Free-movement in the direction you are pointing the controller or your head.
- Walkabout-style of rotation to use 100% room-scale movement.
- Seated play with WASD in your look direction
- Climbey-inspired wall-scaling and leaping
