CraftBrowser — Ingame Minecraft Explorer

CraftBrowser

The internet, inside your world.

Forge • Minecraft 1.20.1 • Requires MCEF

CraftBrowser puts a full Chromium web browser inside Minecraft. Look up a crafting recipe, follow a tutorial, keep a video in a floating window — or build a giant screen in the world and watch it together with your friends. It runs on MCEF (Minecraft Chromium Embedded Framework), so pages, videos and web apps behave exactly like in a desktop browser.

The browser in-game

✨ The Browser

Multi-tab browsing with a smart URL bar (type an address, or anything else to search Google). Your tabs are restored next session.
Incognito tabs (Ctrl+Shift+N) — marked in purple, never saved to your session.
Picture-in-Picture — a floating, draggable and resizable window you can keep open while playing; click it to interact from any screen.
Fullscreen (F12) with real video fullscreen (YouTube & co. expand to the whole view).
Chat link interceptor — URLs in chat become clickable and open in a CraftBrowser tab.
Open in system browser, a "Web" button in the title/pause menus, and a translated welcome page on first launch.

🕶️ Incognito mode

Open a private tab with Ctrl+Shift+N. Incognito tabs are marked in purple and are never saved to your session.

📺 Web Screens — build them in the world

Craft Web Screen panels and stack them into a rectangle on a wall. When the rectangle is complete it lights up as a single shared screen that everyone on the server sees — right-click to set any URL and play videos, dashboards or live pages, together.

Crafting

Iron	Iron	Iron
Glass Pane	Glass Pane	Glass Pane
Iron	Redstone	Iron

Makes 1 Web Screen (5 iron + 3 glass panes + 1 redstone). Break a screen block and you get the item back.

Web Screen recipe

Build & use

Build: place Web Screen panels in a filled rectangle on a wall — it lights up when the shape is complete (up to 12×8 blocks by default).
Set the URL: right-click the screen and type an address (or sneak + right-click to change it later).
Interact: right-click plays/clicks the page with an empty hand; look at the screen and scroll to scroll the page.
Lock: press H to make screens view-only (no accidental clicks).
Audio fades with distance, and each screen loads only when you are nearby.

Each panel is a thin LED-style tile that mounts on any block face. Place a single one, or many, to build a screen of any size.

Set screen URL

Admin controls

Server operators can set the maximum screen size live from a Screens button in the pause menu — no restart needed, all screens re-evaluate instantly. Placement can optionally require the craftbrowser.panel.place permission (LuckPerms-compatible).

📋 Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.x
MCEF (Minecraft Chromium Embedded Framework) 2.1.6-1.20.1 — required on the client. On first launch it downloads the Chromium binaries (~100 MB; Windows / Linux / macOS x64, no ARM).
Install on the server too for the shared Web Screens. Players without the mod can still join — they simply won't see the screens.
