StreamCraft Live v0.15.11 — Free forever, single player, and NeoForge everywhere

This update rolls up everything since v0.14.9. The short version: voice and your own capture are now free with no time limit, StreamCraft works in single player, the trial is measured in streaming hours instead of a credit, and every Minecraft version from 1.20.6 through 26.2 now has both a Fabric and a NeoForge download.

Free forever

• Voice chat and your own camera and screen are free, always. Proximity and stream-bound voice, your webcam in the self-view and above your head, and your desktop on your own Display Blocks cost nothing and never will. The paid tier buys exactly one thing: multi-party video — other players seeing your streams and you seeing theirs — plus sharing your stream to the web.
• /streamcraft status shows your tier (Free / Trial / Active) instead of a yes/no lock.

Works in single player

• Open a world, press ', and turn on your camera or screen share — your webcam appears in your self-view and in third person, and your desktop renders on any Display Block. Build with a tutorial floating next to you, or record with a face-cam.
• Everything stays on your machine: no account, no license, no internet connection — nothing is streamed anywhere, and single-player sessions never touch a server trial.
• The menu hides what doesn't apply in single player (web sharing, voice chat, desktop audio, vanity URL); everything returns when you join a server.

A fairer trial, measured in hours

• The server trial is now 10 hours of streaming time (600 participant-minutes) instead of a usage credit. One person streaming for a minute uses one minute; three people in the session use three.
• Existing trials upgrade automatically — and trials that ran out under the old credit come back to life with their unused hours.
• No more surprise endings: everyone on the server gets a chat heads-up at 5 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, and 30 minutes remaining, and /streamcraft status shows time left.
• Need more time? Hit Request more hours in the menu, say what you're using it for, and the answer lands right in chat — approved hours are added on the spot, even to an expired trial.

NeoForge on Minecraft 26.1 and 26.2

• The NeoForge edition now covers the newest Minecraft: every version from 1.20.6 through 26.2 has both a Fabric and a NeoForge download, each in all five platform variants (Windows, Linux, Linux ARM, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel).
• Fabric and NeoForge clients can share the same server — the two editions speak the same protocol.
• Note: NeoForge for Minecraft 26.2 is still beta upstream, so the 26.2 NeoForge build is published as a beta. 26.1 NeoForge is stable.

Chat flows both ways

• In-game chat now appears on your streamcraft.live channel page. Web viewers could already send messages into the game — now they see the conversation too, with in-game replies tagged "in-game."
• The mirror only runs while your live channel is active (web sharing on, or a claimed vanity page with web chat enabled in the server config).

Spot the mod

• Display Blocks show a small StreamCraft logo in the corner of the screen, like a channel bug — on the frame, never over your content, dimming with the screen. Every block has a Bezel mark ON/OFF toggle if a build looks better without it.
• /streamcraft credit prints a clickable streamcraft.live link — handy on camera or for curious players.

Fixes and polish

• Share to web returns to Minecraft 1.20.1–1.20.4 — the Share-to-web and Stream-to-YouTube buttons now appear there. Update both the server mod and your client to see the row.
• Live-chat moderation works on every version: /streamcraft delete and /streamcraft channel claim (and the in-chat remove control) now work on 1.20.1–1.20.4 and 1.21.11, and /streamcraft status on 1.21.11 shows trial time remaining like everywhere else.
• Display Block config screen: buttons re-centered so nothing overlaps at small GUI heights, and the "Hold Shift to nudge by 1px" hint now appears on the button you're hovering instead of a permanent footer line.
• Removed a leftover non-functional menu button on 1.20.1–1.20.4 and 1.21.11 — the menu is now identical across all versions.
• The in-mod support tab lists supporters who chose to remain anonymous, with an up-to-date project status.
• The terms screen is shorter and plainer, and the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are updated to version 1.3 (streamcraft.live/terms).

Upgrading

• No wire-protocol change since 0.14.9 — mixed versions can connect — but several fixes (share-to-web on 1.20.x, chat mirroring, moderation) need both server and client on 0.15.11 to work fully.
• You'll see a one-time re-prompt to accept the updated Terms. Settings and licenses carry over; no reinstall needed.
