Minecraft was not written for VR and is not a very well optimized game. Here are some steps you can take to improve performance.
Make sure you are allocating enough RAM for your installation type. Additionally be aware it’s possible to have your Java heap space overridden by Windows environment variables. If the game run incredibly bad check for a unwanted -Xmx256M argument there.
Reduce your draw distance in the Video Settings menu. Below 10 is best, even for high-end systems. Turn down the ‘Render Scale’ in the VR Settings Stereo Rendering menu. Also make sure your SteamVR supersampling is at 1.0, Vivecraft has its own setting and will stack with SteamVR’s. Make sure you are not using any custom shaders or texture packs (in Video Settings).

Once you have located the error, check the common ones below. If your crash is not listed, come to the Discord or Forum and bring your log. The game crashes and the error says “MalformedClassName” Go to your.minecraft directory and delete usercache.json. That should sort it.

The game crashes and the error says “Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap” You do not have 64 bit java installed.
