So I've been browsing and searching all night to try and achieve a fully working method to play PE with my VR headset (google cardboard). I'm currently very close but I've got a problem.

I've purchased blockloader which gives me a very nice head tracking effect on the camera. I also have a bluetooth controller that I have paired that is working with the game and gives me movement control as well and block placing and destroying. This is all well and good but for it to work in a google cardboard it has to be in a split screen. I can achieve this by using Tridef 3d for android. it can launch Minecraft PE into a nicely done split screen.

THE PROBLEM IS that I can't achieve the split screen and be able to have head tracking at the same time. Blockloader provides the head tracking and Tridef provides the split screen 3d, but they dont work together. for it to work, Tridef would have to be able to launch blockloader to get all the effects into one boot of Minecraft......but it doesnt work that way.

One last solution that I can think of would be to ditch Tridef entirely if there were a blockloader mod that could provide a split screen 3d effect as well as the head tracking (motion tracking).

I/we are so close to being able to play PE with cheap VR headsets and bluetooth controllers.

SIDENOTE: I'm aware that this is all possible using Trinus VR and playing minecraft desktop version on your phone with it linked to the PC. I dont want this though. I like the idea of having it all contained on my phone (nexus 5) and strapping on my google cardboard.

thanks for reading this all if you did., I'm happy to clarify if this confused the hell out of anybody.

Any pic?

Here is a quick screen grab of the 3D split screen effect using Tridef

So you can either get the split screen to work or the motion movement from blocklauncher? Just , I don't actually know a way, but I was thinking of buying a cardboard soon and I thought this would be a nice addition. What is the Bluetooth controller?

Do you need head tracking? Can't you use a joystick to control looking around?

I'm sure that would work, but I think what the OP is trying to achieve is a more fully immersive Minecraft VR experience.

For VR without the goggles, you might try TriDef 3D Games from the Play Store. I came across it while using Google. Haven't tried it, but since this is sort or related to this topic, I'll mention it. It does say that it supports Minecraft PE for free.

Do you know of a app that does that without needing root

You can use blocklauncher alongside with native side by side (nsbs) that requires root though.
