Support on Ko-fi

                                       🖥️ CHAOSCRAFT'S DEVICES 🖥️

A lightweight in-game desktop for Minecraft featuring windowed apps, virtual files, wallpapers, and per-player persistence. Bring a tiny PC into Minecraft!

🔧Required Dependecies 

  • GeckoLib v.4.7.4+

🚀 Instant In-Game Desktop

Transform your Minecraft experience with a true desktop environment - drag windows, manage files, customize wallpapers, and run built-in or custom apps, all inside Minecraft - just drop the jar in your mods folder!

🌟 Persistent & Extensible

App and desktop state are saved per-player (JSON + world FS). Modpack authors: easily customize, extend, and persist app state and files. Register custom apps/icons at runtime with simple APIs.

🖼️ Wallpaper & Media Support

Supports solid colors, PNG/JPG/GIF wallpapers, and animated backgrounds. Paint app exports PNGs. Add new wallpapers by dropping images in the runtime folder - no resource pack needed.

⚠️ Compatibility Notice

Supported on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.0.

⚡ Key Features

  • Full desktop UI: draggable windows, icons, taskbar, previews
  • Built-in apps: Files, Notes, Notepad, Paint, Weather, Settings, Marketplace, Geomtry Dash, etc…
  • Per-player JSON persistence and world-level FS (pc_ui_files.dat)
  • Wallpaper manager: solid colors, images, GIFs
  • Tab Feature - If you have any open apps you can press Tab to see them All !
  • Searchbar - On the Taskbar so you search for Apps
  • Extensible: register custom apps/icons at runtime
  • Performance: async IO and smart caching for smooth UX (coming fully for v.2.0.0)

Note: The mod does not change gameplay - it adds a fully functional desktop inside Minecraft!          Also beware ! Some Apps may be incomplete like the Calender, Browser and YouTube app          Apps like the Browser App or YouTube app will be made Functional in a Addon in the future           since having a Real Browser Engine running is Very Performance heavy
