WebDisplays_Fabric
by ideal520520
With WebDisplays_Fabric, a placeable in-world block can show a live web page, and players click or type into it from the screen itself.
What it does
The mod ports WebDisplays, originally written for Forge by ds58 and Lyzantra, to Fabric. A web screen block displays pages through MCEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). Each player loads the page locally in their own MCEF instance, while the screen owner's browser texture is captured and broadcast to other players about every 500 ms so they see the same content.
Screens are configured with a Linking Tool and a Screen Configurator. Right-clicking a screen opens a settings screen for creating or removing faces, setting the URL, and resizing or rotating the display. Linkable screens can be joined with a keyboard block, and the items sit in the Web Displays creative tab. The use command gives a player the screen block, configurator, connector and keyboard.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric on 1.21.1 only, with the 1.2.24 beta file dated 2026-05-23 as the latest.
Key features
Web screen block
A placeable block shows a web page through MCEF, and its size and rotation are synced to all players.
Mouse and keyboard input
Raycast cursor tracking lets players click and scroll on a screen, and a dedicated input screen handles typing.
Linking and configuration
The Linking Tool joins screens and keyboards, and the Screen Configurator sets URLs, faces, sizes and rotation.
Texture broadcasting
The owner's browser texture is captured and sent to other players, so a shared page looks the same for everyone nearby.
Pixel store reset
A mixin resets OpenGL pixel store state after MCEF texture updates, which prevents visual corruption on screens.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Shared information boards
A group of players can place a screen showing a map, notes or a status page that every nearby player sees.
Build showcases
Screens can display reference pages or galleries inside a build, with the URL changed from the settings screen.
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders and server owners who want web content inside the world. Because the screens need MCEF on each player's client, players should expect to install the mod on their side as well as the server.
