Minecraft 1.7.10 in 3D Vision.

UPDATE: 31/08/2014 Hello all,
(This is my first post here so bear with me ^_^)

We (me and Mike_ar69) are proud to announce the release of MineCraft 1.7.10 rendered in Stereoscopic 3D with 3D Vision.

=========================
Contributors:
=========================

- Helifax - OpenGL - 3D Vision Wrapper and initial shader stereoscopy injection
- Mike_ar69 - Fixed alot of shaders effects : Shadows, Reflections, Sky etc (in SEUS shaders)
- Mike_ar69 - Created the Vanilla Minecraft Stereoscopic shaders (comes with the wrapper).


=========================
Installation:
=========================
- Go to 3D Surround Gaming (for simplicity sake I will post the fix just there. That way is easier to update).
- Download either the Java x86 or x64 version (based on which version of Java you are using).
- Install all the mods that let you play Minecraft with GLSL Shaders.
- Set the game to Window Mode.
- Install the wrapper (x86 if you are using Java x86 otherwise x64 for Java x64).
- Start the game and use "Mike Shaders.zip"
- Additionally, if you plan to install the SEUS pack, you will first need to convert them to stereo3D. (The creator doesn't allow redistributing the SEUS shader packs and thus the need for the converter tool. However he does allow the modifications of the shaders for personal use). The video tutorial on how to install the SEUS pack mod can be found here: Minecraft SEUS Pack - 3D Vision

Happy mine-crafting;))

    1. they added windowed resolutions to the drivers a while back. im using a gtx680 with 3dtv play. having issues with the controls being wierd after applying this patch, mouse being overly sensitive and motion being jerky, but it does display in stereo. i just tried it for 20 seconds so it might just need some tweaks on my end.

    2. In game press F3 and see what the FPS is being reported. the actual FPS you experience will be 1/2 that actually. I assume you have been through the Optifine optimizations for multi-core rendering and so on. With a 680GTX you should be at 100-120 recorded FPS (so an "actual 50-60"). I am on GTX 770 (basically the same card) and that is what I am seeing.

    3. i got it. the screwy controls occur if i run in 720p (which i prefer because 1080p only does 24hz refresh in 3d on my setup). if i run it in 1080p everything works right, aside from the sloth refresh rate.

  2. this patch adds a whole new dimension to this game. thanks guys!

  3. I normally don't ask for help here but I'm having a bit of an issue and have been waiting for this for years. When I start MC I do see the new banner for the 3D Vision mod and the green light turns on, however I do NOT see 'Mike Shaders.zip' listed under 'Resource Packs' and the game shows no stereo effects. What am I missing?

    1. Sorry, nevermind! I figured it out finally. I had to select 'Forge' as the profile on the MineCraft launcher window, and now I can see the 'shaders' button and select MikeShaders.zip. Thank you so much guys!

  4. Been searching here and there on this page and the OGL page, but it doesnt say anywhere on how to uninstall it if i want a clean re-install of Minecraft, I think i messed something up cause everytime i start minecraft it crashes... and ive tried to remove it normally by just deleting the roaming .minecraft folder.

    1. Replying to myself, spent the last couple of hours trouble shooting and the solution to the problem was reinstalling 32 and 64 bit java.
      I'll write it here just in case someone else encounters the same problem.

    2. Hi - sorry I am late replying. If/when you have problems with this fix, go to the jre/bin folder and rename the opengl32.dll file to something else (I usually make it "####opengl32.dll" or something) and that will entirely disable the fix. If you are familiar with batch files, you could write a really short batch file to do this for you to turn on and off the fix at will. From the sounds of the problem you describe, I think it may be that you had minecraft setup to be in full screen mode? If so, then before you install the fix, start minecraft and change it to windowed mode first, then exit, install the fix (or rename the dll etc) and then it should work. You have to resize the window after the game starts, because for some reason it always starts as a small window.
      Another thing to do, is make sure you have forge, and optifine installed and running before you install the 3D fix. You can check this by, in game, pressing "F3" and it will list the mods installed (I think).
      I hope you get it working.

  6. Hello, Thank You for all that you do for us 3D Vision users, I was wondering if you could help me. First, the link on the Game Index page for the Minecraft fix is incorrectly going to the X Rebirth fix, please fix for the others.

    On to my real problem, I had the Minecraft 3D fix working a couple of weeks ago but only played for 10 minutes to test it. Unfortunately now it no longer works correctly, the left eye in my glasses goes dark and I get no 3D Vision effect, nor do I see doubling image on the monitor. I've tried re-installing Minecraft and tried both x86 and x64 fixes (yes I have the latest Forge and ShaderModCore) but I get the same result. Do you think it could be the Nvidia 344.11 drivers? The monitor goes into 3D mode as soon as I start Minecraft and my left eye goes completely dark. I'll try installing my previous drivers soon and post if I have success. Perhaps I'm missing something?

    1. Thanks for the feedback on the link.
      If you installed the new driver, did you go back to nvidia inspector and add the profile, then add javaw.exe back into it? If you did that already, I am not sure what the issue might be.

      Delete
    2. I just checked the link on the gamelist page on this blog and it brought me back here... Which game index page are you referring to?

      Delete
    3. Yes 344.11 is total crap, and could easily cause this problem. When I installed it, it poisoned my system such that I couldn't even install known good 320.49 driver, and had to clean it up with DDU in safe mode.

      Delete
    4. was resolved when he mentioned it.

  7. Just reinstalled Nvidia 340.65 International driver set and your Minecraft 3D Vision fix IS working. I am using GTX 570 HD SLI. I wonder if anyone with one of the newer 900 series cards could test the new Nvidia drivers with this fix? I was planning on updating cards soon, if Nvidia's VR features are interfering or if it's simply my outdated hardware on these drivers I'd like to know. Thanks for your time guys.

  8. Hey guys, does this work with 1.8? Also, I can't seem to find where to get Mike shaders.zip

  9. wrapper doesn't work for 1.8.0. PLEASE SOMEBODY MAKE A FIX!

    ReplyDelete

    1. What is in 1.8 that makes it worth breaking 3D? Why not just run 1.7.10?

      Delete
    2. Well, one really good 1.8 server.

  10. The converted SEUS works, but "Mike Shaders.zip" doesn't appear in my shaders list for some reason. Can I download it separately?

    ReplyDelete
  11. So looks like this will only run on 1.7.10? I've a modded 1.6 server I play on I'd love to use 3d on, I'm guessing this wouldn't work on that though?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No it won't work. It's the dependencies on Forge, GL Shaders, Optifine, etc. Also the installation in MC1.6 was all different.

  12. Hi,

    I am really new to this, so please be gentle ;)
    My new laptop had 3D Vision preinstalled, although it didn't come with any means to actually output 3D (shutter glasses or 3D capable screen).
    I've been playing around with Google Cardboard - which is really good fun by the way (for free!) - and I found a little program called Trinus Gyre, which will simply mirror the PC screen to your phone.
    Trinus Gyre has an option to double the regular screen output and display it side by side (and makes you able to look around in the game by emulating mouse controls). But that picture is of course not stereoscopic, hence this option is called "fake 3D".

    In your youtube tutorial, I saw the game switch between red/green and SBS mode, so would it be possible to output a real stereoscopic SBS picture over a tool like Trinus Gyre to Google Cardboard?

    Unfortunately I am right now in the middle of moving house and write this from my work PC or I would get to modding Minecraft right now...

  13. Answering to myself:

    Well it turns out there is a mod called Minecrift...
    and its doing exactly what i was looking for. Independent of graphics hardware.

  14. Hi Just wondering if there is plans to update for Java 8 and newer MC (1.8.3)? Currently works fine with MC 1.8, but it breaks when you install Java 8. Distance fog effects that werre finally fixed in MC1.8 break too but I imagine thats probably the shader mod. Thanks for the 3d patch though , MC is amazing in 3d well done.

  15. when i download the 3d wrapper x64 and x86 instead of getting a .exe i get a .rar.... any help with that please?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hey! :D I love the work you guys do here at Helix... One question though. When I install the mod etc, I launch minecraft but get a white screen after the wrapper splash screen (I don't see the mojang logo, though the game runs. I just see a white screen, the game gets to the menu, you can see that by randomly clicking and hearing the sounds). Help please? :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Seems that this game don't get fixes anymore.
    Last 3 posts are questions that still got no answer so i assume the fix don't work anymore on newer versions..
    Again a game that has no 3D...

    1. Looks like it's your turn to fix or update a game. Doing an update to a game is pretty easy, all you have to do is follow the same techniques/patterns and update new shaders that have broken.

      Delete
  18. For people saying this doesnt work with newer version of Minecraft. I can report 3dvision is working with MC 1.9 really well using this fix. No need for forge, you just need optifine it has included the shader mod now. This is how I did it

    download and install latest optifine

    Copy 3dvision patch into minecraft binaries folder and mikesshaders into shader folder as explained in installation guide

    Open your launcher , run the game using the optifine profile

    If 3d doesnt activate use nvidiainspector to add minecraft to a game with a 3d profile. You have to add javaw.exe to a profile, its in the folder you copied the fix into. Explanation of how to do this is in guides on this site. When stuck I have used max payne 3 profile. But now i use helifax's profile i found on a forum.

    It should be working now, if not search forums , they helped me to get it to work.

    I had broken water, to fix change to legacymode=false in 3dvisionwrapper.ini in the folder you copied the fix files to.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I can report this works in the latest Minecraft 1.9.2

    ReplyDelete
  20. I've never used any kind of mod for Minecraft before today, so perhaps I've missed some important step, but:
    *Downloaded the files linked to here.
    *Pasted the x64 files into the folder with java.exe.
    *Put the shaders ZIP into a newly created shaders folder.
    *Grabbed Optifine since that seemed the way to load shaders in Minecraft.
    *Start Minecraft with Optifine profile, choose Mike_Shaders.zip.
    *It plays in regular 2D. *shrug*

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Partially figured out. The x64 files in Java's main Program Files appearance, no. But the one within the Minecraft subdirectories, yes. When I run Minecraft I get the window about 3D Vision support, running it in windowed mode, etc. However, after that the game screen is totally black whether it's windowed or full screen. Music still plays and buttons seem blindly clickable, though.

    2. Wirehead:
      Thanks so much for the update and instructions. I can confirm that your steps produce 100% effective results. Much appreciated as I never could get the steps for 1.70.10 to work for MONTHS!
      To add a bit of clarification for those getting black screens: (which happened to me)
      1. Download/install Optifine 1.9.X
      2. Add Mike's Shaders to /.minecraft/shaderpacks/
      3*** RUN MINECRAFT. GOTO OPTIONS>VIDEO OPTIONS>SHADERS AND SELECT MIKE'S SHADERS.
      4*** EXIT MINECRAFT
      5. Instal 3D Vision Fix files to your appropriate folder, (example, Program Files > Minecraft\runtime\xxxxxx\xxxxx\bin)
      6. Add javaw.exe (java/bin folder again) just as Wirehead said, with the nVidia inspector utility. I used the Max Payne 3 Profile since I could not locate the Helifax profile he found elsewhere. If somebody could point that out to me I would be much appretiative. :-)

      Done! That's it! ?I realy wish this tutorial was out sooner as it would have saved me major headaches! Just thankful, again, to Wirehead for pointing out that Optifine supports shaders at the very latest time of release! So awesome.

  22. Does Minecraft and 3d Vision work with SLI, I got 2 gtx 1080ti and still I only get 65 fps (and half of it as true fps in 3D Vision). Anybody else with FPS problems?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm fairly sure that Minecraft is not going to support SLI, because it is written in Java. I've never heard of anything working with SLI in that case, although it is possible that a driver profile will have some SLI bits that work to override it.

      Because this is Java, you are most likely to be CPU limited, not GPU limited. Check your 1080ti and see what it's usage is. If the single card scenario is not loaded 100%, then you are CPU limited and SLI won't help in any case.

      Delete
    2. With a better CPU, the FPS are much better. As for the 3D Vision Wrapper for Minecraft, it was mentioned that a SLI profile has been created, or at least it shoul work. See http://3dsurroundgaming.com/OGL3DVision/Releases/ReadmeFiles/Minecraft_Readme.pdf

      Delete
    3. In Nvidia Profile, choosing ARF Sli, one does lose out some frames instead of single GPU.

      I hope the new NVlink technology in the Nvidia RTX cards will make 2 GPU as a logical unit, and work with OpenGL.
      Concerning the 3DVisionWrapper.ini file, the line "ForceNVProfileLoad" can be set to true for the "GameProfile.3dcfg" file to load, setting fullscreen via the ini can also be beneficial for the performance.

      Sli wasn't working with the 3dcfg file sadly, but as you said, a proper driver profile might help.

      Delete
  23. Couldn't get this working in 2020 with current drivers sadly, if anyone knows how I'd be interested. I followed all the steps I could find in the comments above but no luck. Thanks

    1. Make sure you press Ctrl+F10 after resizing the window or going Fullscreen (F11), this should kick in 3D Vision. Also, check if the javaw.exe profile is created or exists in NVIDIA Inspector. It's one of the last things I have to check for 3D Vision to work in Minecraft.

      It is working as of Minecraft version 1.16 (June 23, 2020).

      Delete
  24. It is unlikely to work with the MS XBox games, but I'm not certain. Microsoft locks out the game folders for Game Pass games, to prevent modding. Start with simplest possible scenario of just getting the OpenGL.dll to load and show an overlay. The files should reside in same folder as the game exe.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thank you so much for your reply, really appreciate it.
    I will try this advice in all possible ways I can come up with (The difficulty lies in: what is the game exe, they have buried it ridiculously deep. Found some executables, but still... no clear minecraft.exe, except for the one in C:\XboxGames\Minecraft Launcher\Content which doesn't seem to be used or so). If I have success I will let you know.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think I got the wrapper installed! (Still no 3d vision though, but still, it is an advancement!)

    I found a setting in the minecraft launcher, where you can select which java executable runs the minecraft app. I will share my steps, so that others can install it too, if they are in the same situation. You can go there this way: When you open the launcher, go to installations, click on the optifine installation. Click on the button on the right that says . . . , then click edit. Click "More options". Under Java Executable it says "", next to it is a browse button, where you can select your own javaw.exe.

    I installed Java JRE again (to be precise, Eclipse Adoptium 21.0.4+7-LTS JRE). I copied the fix files into the folder (In my case C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-21.0.4.7-hotspot\bin). Then I used the above steps to select the javaw.exe in this folder, instead of the bundled one.

    Now when I open Minecraft I see a OpenGL3DVision Wrapper window open. However, when I continue it is not yet in 3d. To be continued...

    ReplyDelete
  27. IT WORKS!

    I tried so many different things, so it is hard to say with 100% certainty that the steps below where the only ones leading to the end result, but I think these were the steps that got it to work.

    1. Download and install latest version of optifine (so that it is meant for Minecraft 1.21.1, which I am playing).
    2. Download Mike's shaders, for instance via: https://github.com/helifax/OGL-3DVision-Wrapper/tree/master/Fixes/Minecraft/Build/x64
    3. Copy Mike's shaders to %APPDATA%\.minecraft\shaderpacks
    4. Open Minecraft-Optifine, go to Options | Video options | Shaders and select Mike's shaders
    5. Download OpenGL3dVision-v12.3.rar via https://github.com/helifax/OGL-3DVision-Wrapper/releases
    6. Install a Java JRE and remember to which folder you install it
    7. When you open the minecraft launcher, go to installations, click on the optifine installation. Click on the button on the right that says . . . , then click edit. Click "More options". Under Java Executable it says "", next to it is a browse button, where you can select your own javaw.exe. (The one you just installed)
    8. Copy the contents of opengl3dvision-v12.3.rar, subfolder x64 (or x86 if you're using that) to the folder with your javaw.exe in it.
    9. Change the 3dVisionWrapper.ini you just copied: change RenderMode to 0 (=change line 32, RenderMode = 2 to RenderMode = 0.

    Problems I've still got to solve:
    - It only uses like 80-90% of the screen (black rectangles left, on top and to the right)
    - My FPS is like 15-20, but I'm confident I can solve that by lowering the graphics settings.

    Thank you all for the comments above, because it helped me find the above solution.

    ReplyDelete
  28. P.S. It looks AMAZING!!! Solved the FPS problem. Now getting 50FPS (with render distance 32 instead of 48, on RTX 2080).

    Another issue is that it continually says something like OpenGL Error: 1282 in the text below (1 line). Not disturbing though.

    ReplyDelete
  29. P.S. The OpenGL Errors can be turned off in Video Settings | Other

    ReplyDelete
  30. P.S. Fixed the black bars by changing the resolution in the MineCraft Launcher. Didn't have to do this before I installed the 3d, hence the confusion. I am however not able to change the resolution to 2560x1440. If I make it 1600x900 though, it still looks like 2560x1440. I wonder if it truly is 1600x900, or that it's just the ratio they use... anyway. Thought I'd let you guys know!

    TL;DR: Minecraft 1.21.1 (recent purchase via Xbox Games, so without the normal folder structure) is now working perfectly in 3d vision, and it looks amazing! Thanks to all developers and people giving advice above!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Awesome tenacity and getting this to work. Thanks for letting us know the details and also that it is still working.

    (I did not remember that it was Java based, and finding the right javaw.exe is exactly right. One trick for the future- you can look in the Task Manager:Details and find the running .exe and it can Open Folder Location on right click.)
