yeah, sorry for the lack of specificity, I was going to bed when I answered.
VR Craft. it's only "creative mode" and it's mostly just the novelty of wandering around in an interactive world - obviously, it's nowhere near as full-featured as actual minecraft.
the racing game was VR Rally, which along with making me super sick almost immediately also didn't really work with my cheapo controller setup (USB OTG cable plus playstation 2 to USB adapter plus playstation 2 controller - LEGITIMACY). I had to borrow someone's real USB controller.
I have VR Craft on my phone. It's not Minecraft, but it helps scratch that itch. It works great with my generic vr headset, but you'll need a Bluetooth controller.
