Just A Browser Mod (JAB) adds fully functional web screens to Minecraft. Build a wall of screen blocks, point at it and run a command, and the wall turns into a live browser panel backed by an embedded Chromium instance (via Rinku).
- Multiblock screen walls — any rectangle of screen blocks (2x2 or larger) becomes a display, on any face of any side of the blocks (walls, floors, ceilings).
- Real browser rendering — pages render onto the blocks in-game with texture quality tied to the GUI scale.
- Interactive browser view — right-click a screen to open the browser GUI with a URL
bar (
Ctrl+Lto focus) and full mouse and keyboard forwarding to the page. In-page navigation (links, back/forward) works natively and stays in sync with the wall. - Audio modes — screens can be set to global (page audio plays normally) or dynamic (page volume is driven by your distance from the wall, with a 64-block falloff).
- Per-face displays — one wall can show a different page on each of its six faces.
- Minecraft 1.21.11 (Fabric)
- Fabric API
- Rinku (rinku-fabric,
3.0.1-1.21.11)
Use the patched Rinku jar from the release — the published 3.0.1 jar crashes at startup (missing mixin refmap entry; upstream Keksuccino/Rinku#11).
On first launch Rinku downloads its Chromium native binaries — this may take a few minutes.
- Craft screen blocks (1 iron ingot + 1 redstone, shapeless) and build a flat wall.
- Look at the wall and run:
/jab create # create a display on the face you're looking at
/jab create https://youtube.com # create and load a URL immediately
/jab url <url> # change the page on the wall you're looking at
/jab audio global|dynamic # switch audio mode for the wall
/jab remove # remove the display
/jab debug # print server-side wall info for debugging
- Right-click the wall to open the interactive browser view.
Breaking any block of a wall also removes its display, so walls can't get stuck in a half-broken state.
A config/jab.properties file is generated on first run:
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
maxScreenSize |
8 |
Maximum wall dimension in blocks |
defaultResolutionX/Y |
1920x1080 |
Browser render resolution for new screens (fixed at creation) |
defaultUrl |
https://www.google.com |
Page loaded when a screen is created |
loadDistance / unloadDistance |
32 / 48 |
Browser lifecycle distance from the wall |
maxBrowsers |
16 |
Concurrent browser cap (extra screens park) |
./gradlew build
The built jar lands in build/libs/. Drop it (plus the requirements above) into your
mods/ folder.
This mod is heavily inspired by (and builds on) the work of others:
- Rinku by Keksuccino — the embedded Chromium framework (successor of Keksuccino's MCEF fork) that powers the browser rendering
- BrowserMod by Mcjunky33 — the original in-game browser concept
- WebDisplays by CinemaMod — multiblock screen walls in Minecraft
