Steam Helper
by Jab125
Steam Helper sends links clicked in Minecraft to Steam's own web browser instead of the system browser.
What it does
When a URL is opened from inside the game, the mod routes it to the Steam overlay browser. The feature is built on Steamworks4J, a Java wrapper for the Steamworks SDK, and its native Steamworks Redistributables are bundled with the mod. Steam Helper is a small utility, and it is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, with 1.0.0-fabric for 1.21.4 as the latest build.
