  • ⌨️ Rebindable hotkey default Shift+Tab, in-game settings menu

  2. Wait 10-15 seconds for Chromium to download (Only on first install)
  3. Enjoy!

❓ FQA ✅

How do I watch YouTube while playing Minecraft? Install OverCastUI (Fabric). Press Shift+Tab in game, open YouTube, then close the overlay. The video keeps playing in a small picture-in-picture window while you play.

Do I need to install MCEF separately? No. OverCastUI downloads Chromium by itself the first time you open it, which takes about 10–15 seconds.

Does it pause the game? No. The overlay opens on top of the game, like the Steam overlay.
