Minecraft doesn’t start in VR mode

I start Minecraft with minecraft://Mode/?OpenXR=true, but the game just starts normal. I setup openxr correctly in Meta Quest Link app. But game doesn’t appear in the meta quest!

To test this behaviour I downgraded to version 1.21.73.1. There it works as expected.

BTW I have version 1.21.82.1, because of my server and also because in versions after that the Raytracing was a little bit wonky. [Strangely I couldn’t set the correct version in the field above, please take this into consideration.]

Can you please tell me what I did wrong? Why didn’t the game start correctly?

Access to VR was removed in 1.21.80 per Changelog:

Removed access to Virtual and Mixed Reality gameplay.

May see MCPE-221502

I understand, I still consider this a bug, because the game didn’t tell me either of this.

At least show an error message, if you start the game with OpenXR=true parameter.

I started the game with minecraft://Mode/?OpenXR=true and I expected to see this in my VR glasses. At now point, did the game tell me that something was wrong. I searched for the error elsewhere looked for updates on the Quest, tried to restart my pc multiple times.

If you (for whatever reason) removed this feature, why not inform users, that this is the case. At least, if someone explicitely starts the game like this?

An error message must be there, otherwise I don’t consider this resolved!

How can I fix typos in the text, I don’t see the edit button?

Hello, can someone please remove the resolved status. Unless a proper error message is implemented, I don’t consider this issue resolved.
