Description
๐ช WinCraft Desktop
Your entire Windows OS, natively embedded in your Minecraft world.

Stream videos, browse wikis, control Discord, or code without ever Alt-Tabbing again.
WinCraft projects real, interactive 3D spatial windows of any running desktop app directly into your Minecraft world.
โก What is WinCraft Desktop?
WinCraft Desktop is a 100% client-side Fabric mod engineered to bring seamless multitasking directly into Minecraft. By integrating deeply with the native Windows Graphics Capture (WGC) pipeline, DirectX 11, and modern GPU surface sharing, WinCraft delivers fluid 60+ FPS window rendering inside the game without copying video frames to CPU memory.
Unlike simple flat HUD overlays or static web views, WinCraft windows exist as true physical objects inside the 3D game world. You can walk around them, position multiple monitors throughout your base, or attach floating screens directly to your camera so they follow you on long mining expeditions.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
Can other players on a server see my desktop screens?
No. WinCraft is 100% client-side. The windows are rendered locally through your own GPU; no private desktop data or video streams are ever transmitted over the network.
Does having windows open reduce game performance?
WinCraft relies on GPU-to-GPU memory sharing, which bypasses the CPU entirely. Rendering impact is extremely light, though running heavy desktop apps will use your normal system resources.
Can I use multiple screens at once?
Yes. You can place as many windows in your world as your GPU memory comfortably supports.
