BrowserMCEF
by Mcjunky33
BrowserMCEF brings a Chromium web browser into the game interface, with tabs, a picture-in-picture window and a chat link handler.
What it does
Players can browse the web, watch videos and manage several browser tabs without leaving the game screen. A main browser screen opens from a key binding, and tabs can be opened, switched and saved as needed. Arrow keys and the scroll wheel move through a page, and Ctrl and Alt combinations are supported for typing international characters.
A picture-in-picture mode keeps a small browser window open over the game while players play. The window can be resized and moved to any part of the screen, and a fullscreen toggle expands a browser tab to cover the whole view. Clicks on links posted in chat open in a tab inside the mod rather than launching a separate browser window.
The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing it. It requires Rinku, and it is published for Fabric only, with builds for 26.2 and 26.3 and 0.1-26.3 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
