WebshopLink
by FRS-Projects
WebshopLink lets players browse an external web shop inside the game and have purchased items added straight to their inventory, with the shop checked against the player's inventory at purchase time.
What it does
Inside the game, a full-screen browser drawn by MCEF covers the world while the player shops, and a narrow strip of buttons runs along the bottom edge. The player builds a cart on the web page and clicks Finish Trade, and the purchase is applied to the inventory without leaving the game. Players who prefer can still use an external browser, since the shop is a normal web page.
When a session starts, WebshopLink sends the player's current inventory to the shop API, which returns a session. A two-factor session code is exchanged with an API call so sessions cannot be forged, and purchases are rejected if the inventory changed between the start of the session and confirmation, which blocks duplication and race exploits. Shop requests carry a configurable X-Webshop-Api-Key header, and other commands exist as fallbacks for clients without the in-game browser.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Its only environment is server-side, so players join without installing it, but they need MCEF and the WebshopLink mod on the client to use the in-game browser. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.10.0 as the latest file, dated 2026-10-06. The first release came out on 2025-07-02.
Key features
In-game web shop browser
Through MCEF, the storefront appears as a full-screen Chromium view layered over the game, with a compact row of controls anchored to the bottom.
Inventory verification
Purchases are rejected if the inventory changed after the session began, preventing duping and race exploits.
Session code exchange
A two-factor session code is exchanged with the shop API, so sessions cannot be forged by a client.
Operator and command block restriction
The shopCommandPermissionLevel config can limit who may open shops, and shops can be restricted to specific locations.
