code-server-mc

by Merith-TK

code-server-mc runs a browser-based VS Code editor inside a Minecraft server, and the server needs it installed to do so.

What it does

The mod is an unofficial integration that starts code-server, the open source project from coder that serves Visual Studio Code in a browser, within a Minecraft server environment. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.19 – 1.21 on both Fabric and Forge, with the latest file for 1.21 released on 2024-07-26.

Because the mod launches an external program, it fetches and sets up code-server on startup, which pauses the server while the install completes. The author warns that dedicated hosting providers may treat it as a violation of their terms of service, so server owners are responsible for checking that use before running it. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Browser-based editor

    Starts the code-server program inside the server so a VS Code session is reachable from a web browser.

  2. Automatic install on startup

    Fetches and sets up code-server the first time the server launches, pausing loading until the install finishes.

  3. Open source codebase

    The source code and issue tracker are public, so the behavior of the bundled program can be inspected.

Questions

Does code-server-mc need to be installed on the client?

No. It is server-side only, so only the server runs it and players can join without it.
