Chromium Browser
by dev-r
Chromium Browser adds a built-in web browser window that opens inside Minecraft, so players can read web pages while the game keeps running.
What it does
The browser opens in a dedicated full-screen interface with a URL bar, tabs, and refresh, back and forward navigation. Pages are rendered by an embedded browser engine that shows web content inside the game window.
A split-screen mode places a web page next to active gameplay, so a page can stay visible while the world keeps moving. Browser history records previously viewed pages so they can be revisited later. The mod is published for Fabric only, and its files target 26.1.2 alone, with the latest build 1.1.1 for 26.1.2 released on 2026-06-02 on the alpha channel.
Only the client needs the mod, so players install it on their own game and servers do not need it. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with the source code publicly available on GitHub. The mod was first published on 2026-05-17 and last updated on 2026-06-02.
