InGameWeb

Open a full browser inside Minecraft with Shift + Tab — browse documentation, wikis, YouTube, and any normal website without leaving the game. Supports multiple tabs, persistent sessions, and download confirmation.

Requirements

MCEF is a required companion mod. It downloads Chromium binaries on first launch. An internet connection is needed for the initial setup.

Installation

  1. Install Fabric Loader.
  2. Download and place Fabric API in your mods/ folder.
  3. Download and place MCEF [Keksuccino's Fork] (v2.2.0 or newer for 1.21.11) in your mods/ folder.
  4. Download and place InGameWeb in your mods/ folder.
  5. Launch Minecraft. MCEF will download Chromium binaries on the first run — wait for it to finish.

Controls

Action Default Location
Open overlay Shift + Tab InGameWeb Settings
Close overlay ESC Controls → Web - EywDev
Focus address bar Ctrl + L (in overlay)
New tab Ctrl + T (in overlay)
Close tab Ctrl + W (in overlay)
Back / Forward Alt + ← / → (via browser) (in overlay)
Reload Ctrl + R (via browser) (in overlay)

The open shortcut supports modifier combinations such as Shift + Tab, Ctrl + M, or Alt + B. Change it from the InGameWeb settings screen using the toolbar settings button or Mod Menu. The close key is configurable in Options → Controls → Web - EywDev.

Features

  • Full Chromium browser powered by MCEF — real websites, YouTube, login sessions
  • Multi-tab support — open, close, and switch tabs freely
  • URL / search bar — type a URL or plain search query; youtube.com auto-prefixes https://
  • Google as default homepage and search engine (configurable)
  • Persistent sessions — cookies, cache, and login state survive Minecraft restarts
  • Download confirmation — asks before any file is saved; you choose the destination
  • Singleplayer pause — the game pauses while the overlay is open (configurable)
  • Config screen — accessible from the overlay toolbar, Mod Menu, or config/wboverlay.json
  • Background tab handling — tabs stay alive after closing the overlay while hidden browser views are kept lightweight
  • Optional blocklist / allowlist — disabled by default

Configuration

Open the config screen through the overlay toolbar settings button, Mod Menu, or edit config/wboverlay.json directly.

  • Windows 10/11 (x86_64, arm64)
  • macOS 11+ (Intel, Apple Silicon)
  • GNU/Linux with glibc 2.31+ (x86_64, arm64)

Compatibility

Mod Status
Fabric API Required
MCEF [Keksuccino's Fork] Required
Mod Menu Supported — config screen integration
Sodium Compatible — no known conflicts

Forge / NeoForge Not supported

InGameWeb is client-side only. It does not require installation on servers and does not send any data to servers.

Known Limitations

  • MCEF downloads Chromium binaries (~200 MB) on first launch. This is handled by MCEF, not InGameWeb.
  • Audio and video support depends on MCEF's included Chromium build and your OS. YouTube generally works on supported platforms.
  • Background media can continue after closing the overlay, but performance depends on the website, video resolution, and system hardware.
  • Browser initialization may fail if required system libraries are missing (see MCEF's documentation for platform requirements).
  • If MCEF is not installed, InGameWeb will refuse to load (dependency check at startup).
