Minecraft: Gear VR Edition was indeed a special version of Bedrock Edition designed for virtual reality on certain Samsung Galaxy devices through the Samsung Gear VR headset. Released on April 27, 2016, it allowed players to experience Minecraft in a fully immersive VR environment1.

Additional Information:

Features: The Gear VR Edition included all the features of the Pocket Edition, such as Creative and Survival modes, multiplayer options, and the ability to build and explore in a 3D virtual space1. Controls: The game was optimized for the Gear VR’s touchpad and supported Bluetooth controllers, providing a smooth and intuitive VR experience. Discontinuation: Support for Minecraft: Gear VR Edition ended in October 2020. This meant no more updates, and multiplayer and Realms support were discontinued. However, players could still enjoy the game in single-player mode if it was previously downloaded. Legacy: Despite its discontinuation, Minecraft: Gear VR Edition played a significant role in bringing Minecraft to virtual reality, paving the way for future VR versions on other platforms.
