by Keksuccino

Rinku is a library mod that lets other mods render a fully controllable Chromium-based browser inside Minecraft.

What it does

Other mods call Rinku to add browser views to their own screens, including video players and web-based menus. The mod does nothing on its own, so it is only useful alongside mods that build on its features. Required dependency: Fabric API, which must be installed next to Rinku on Fabric. Four catalog mods require it: BrowserMCEF, MineChromium, Minescape Utility and AirWebDisplay.

Rinku started as a fork of the CinemaMod MCEF project and carries modifications made by Keksuccino, with credit for the original work going to ds58 and the other MCEF contributors. Either side can load it, and neither the client nor the server requires it. Its source and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later, so a project that modifies or includes Rinku source must follow that license, while a project that only uses it may pick another one. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 26.3, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge files for 26.3 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Chromium-based browser rendering

    Renders a modern CEF and Chromium browser that other mods can control fully from code.

  2. Uncapped frame rate

    Browser rendering runs at 60 FPS by default, and mods can set higher values such as 120 or more.

  3. Modernized codebase

    The code is reworked for performance and compatibility compared with the original MCEF.

  4. In-game settings screen

    A settings screen lets players change Rinku's options, opened through Mod Menu on Fabric or the Mods menu on Forge and NeoForge.

Does Rinku need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency and must be installed alongside Rinku on Fabric.

Builds exist for 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and through 26.3, with files listed for each of the twelve release versions.
