MonkeyCraft
by weikeng
MonkeyCraft lets a player stream the Minecraft game to a phone, tablet or browser, and send input back from the touch screen.
What it does
The mod runs a WebSocket server inside the Minecraft client. A player connects a phone or a browser through the live web client, signs in with Tailscale, and approves the pairing on the computer. Once paired, the game screen is sent as an H.264 video feed, so the player can watch in real time and control the game with touch input. The title screen can be reached before a world loads.
Streaming suits couch play on another device, checking a farm or fishing session while away from the computer, and letting a friend take over a world from a phone. The chat can be read and sent from the stream, and a top-down view of the world is available alongside the first-person feed. The mod is client-side only and needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API. It is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is published for 1.19 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric file 1.4.3-26.2 for 26.2 dated 2026-10-03.
