Minecraft’s Wither Storm inside GTA V Legacy
Wither Storm × GTA V Passthrough runs Minecraft Java 1.20.1 beside Grand Theft Auto V Legacy. Minecraft simulates Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod, while the bridge draws the storm into Los Santos and connects its tractor beams, projectiles, weather and impacts to GTA pedestrians and vehicles. VortexisTV adapted Rehan’s universal-modder passthrough example and published v1.0.0 on October 4, 2026. This older release was added to the catalog on October 23.
What you need
Windows, GTA V Legacy Story Mode, a dedicated Minecraft Java 1.20.1 instance, Forge 47.4.10, Cracker’s Wither Storm Mod 4.2.1, JDK 17, ScriptHookV with its ASI loader, and ReShade 6.8.0 with full add-on support. A source build also needs Visual Studio 2022 C++ tools and the documented WSL utilities. Use your own copies of both games.
How to get started
- Read the creator README and release notes. Confirm that you have GTA V Legacy and the listed Minecraft, Forge, Wither Storm Mod, Java, ScriptHookV and ReShade versions.
- Download wither-release.zip from the author’s v1.0.0 release. Review the archive and instructions before use.
- Put the gta5-game files in the GTA V game folder and the mods folder contents in the dedicated Minecraft instance, as the release notes direct. Keep backups of existing GTA mod files.
- Start the dedicated Minecraft instance and load its passthrough world. Then start GTA V Legacy with BattlEye disabled and enter Story Mode. The author documents F9 and Shift+F9 for the storm sequence.
