WARNING: On clients, only Windows is supported for now

Server-side, the mod works fine on every OSes. Non-Windows clients will also be able to connect, but screens will stay white.

This is a re-write of an old mod of mine, WebDisplays, which adds a Web Screen Block and more! So, what do you think this block will do? Well, when you place a few of these blocks in a surface ("wall") shape, and you right-click it, a real web browser shows up. You can go on YouTube, watch some videos or listen to your favourites musics, watch the stream of your favourite streamer, shows the news in your server's lobby and everything in-game.

CAREFUL: WebDisplays's (and MCEF's) download server will be under maintenance during the 17th of September 2019 (2019-09-17). You might be unable to download the mod during this day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Quick start & wiki

To begin playing around with the mod, the first block you'd want to craft is the screen block:

Place it in a "wall" shape, and right-click it with an empty hand to turn it on. Sneak and right click (again, with an empty hand) to change the URL.

At any time, hover a WebDisplays item and hit "F1" to get some help about the item!

Further informations can be found on the offical WebDisplays Wiki here!

WebDisplays 1.0 features:

• A minePad!
• Per-screen permissions
• A laser pointer, to click from a certain distance
• A Redstone Input Port, so web pages can receive redstone signals
• A Redstone Output Port, so web pages can send redstone signals
• OpenComputers integration
• And much more!

Other informations:

• Bugs have to be reported on the WebDisplays GitHub page here
• A list of Frequently Asked Questions can be found on my wiki (again)

Does this mod need anything to use it in a server?

No, just Forge & MCEF (Actually MCEF does nothing server-side, but it's still required).

I should add this information in the main thread, thanks.

I know this might be a little pushy, especially how you did this out of a want. But will, or would, this mod work on other OSes? Mainly Macintosh.

I don't know. The problem is that I don't own a Mac, so I can't build JCEF (which is used by WebDisplays) for Mac. I've tried a Virtual Machine, but it's super slow and even if I could use it to build JCEF I couldn't test it. So yeah... it's written on the MCEF GitHub page, any help from a Mac developper is welcome

Linux is also a pain in the ass since unlike Windows some files have to be copied inside the folder where Java is installed, and that requires administrator rights...

Hey, If you can help me out with my server crash, here it is! https://pastebin.com/deWpmbj6 I've been trying to start a modded server for me and my friends, but It keeps crashing. Im suspecting its from this mod because the crash incliude things relating to google. Thanks!

Nah, this comes from Skye's Donuts. Apparently it's trying to use a client-side class on the server. You need to contact Skye's Donuts author

Oh I see, this is completely understandable from what your saying; although, I would absolutely do it myself, but I don't know programming at all, so I cannot :(. But I have some hope that someone with a Macintosh will uh, be generous?

But anyway, like I said, it is understandable; so no worries from both sides. Hopefully:/

Oh yeah, the reason why I asked about this being on other systems is because a friend of mine uses a Macintosh while I use a Windows. (Which is exactly as painful as you'd imagine when it comes to doing ANYTHING)😩😫😖

Thank you for a good mod!:D

There is something I want to ask you to do, but every time you select a Youtube video, the sound will be maximum.
Can you fix this?

You can change the YouTube volume in the config file

I found a glitch where sometimes, while on youtube, I would be on another video and the other video I was watching before it would still be playing, even when I exit the world. Also that some things dont work multiplayer, like if I'm on youtube, when a video is paused, it would be playing for other people, but if it was playing, it would be paused for other people.

Unfortunately that's one of the limitations of WebDisplays :S. There's no way I can perfectly synchronize two web browsers (the only way would be to put the web browsers server-side and make it stream every screens, which would use all the bandwidth). The only thing I can advice is to use embedded YouTube with auto-play enabled as much as possible, by using shift+the YT button. More info here:

Please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

i used to be able to play my music on Google play, in 1.6.4, now i can't it says it needs to install flash.

Will there be any future updates that increase the viewing distance of the display? I like to build stadiums and arenas and this mod is great for integrating scoreboards, however, the displays disappear when I get too far away. Nevertheless, this is still a great mod!

Also, will we be able to control multiple screens at the same time from a different location? I think it would be great to be able to control a 4 screen jumbotron from a control room and have all the screens in sync playing a scoreboard animation.

I know that these usage examples might not be the most mainstream, but they could inspire some cool/creative ideas.

Thanks

dude, I love you
