Wikicraft Spotlight
Wikicraft Spotlight opens a Spotlight-style search overlay in the game, so the Minecraft Wiki can be queried with a single keypress.
What it does
Pressing G opens an editable search overlay. Typing a query returns matching wiki articles in real time, and an article can be read in an integrated viewer without leaving the game. Players who would otherwise leave the world to check a detail can stay put, since the viewer uses the same panel as the search and the browser is a built-in feature rather than an external page.
The mod is client-side only, so servers and other players need nothing installed. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11 and 26.1, with files for 26.1 published on 2026-03-26. The Fabric Loader and MCEF Modern are required, and MCEF Modern has to be present for the viewer to work. The code is released under the MIT License, and a public source repository and issue tracker are linked from the project.

Use cases
Looking up recipes mid-build
A player checking a crafting recipe or a biome detail can stay in the world and read the article in the viewer.
Browsing the wiki at the desk
Players who prefer reading the wiki can keep the overlay open, bookmark articles and return to them later.
Who it’s for: Players who want wiki lookups during play, and players who run the game at a GUI scale that suits the overlay. The mod is a client-side addition for single-player and multiplayer clients alike.
