Minecraft VR does open in the SteamVR environment when using this shortcut:
minecraft://Mode/?OpenXR=true
From this guide:
https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360057619052-Minecraft-in-Virtual-Reality
However, at least for the Index, there are no controller bindings, no way to set custom bindings in SteamVR, and no ability to press any button in the main menu, effectively making Minecraft VR unplayable.
