webdisplays: web screens inside Minecraft

WebDisplays put web pages into Minecraft 1.12.2 as in game screens. The author has stopped maintaining it and opened the license so anyone can fork and carry it on.

An abandoned mod

WebDisplays is a Minecraft mod for version 1.12.2 that adds web displays to the game. The README opens with a straight admission: the author no longer has time to maintain it. That fact drives everything else in the repository, from the license to the list of unfinished ideas. The mod adds web display blocks and items to the game, which is what players actually see in their worlds.

Where the docs live

Block and item details live on the wiki, hosted on the author's own site. The README itself stays thin on gameplay content and points players there. The link sits right in the README, so finding it does not take any digging. For anyone working out what a web display can actually do, the wiki is the place to look.

Things still on the list

A short list of delayed ideas sits in the README. It includes a plugin API, a Shop CC Interface if the ComputerCraft mod ever gets updated, centering the camera on the screen when using a keyboard, minePad management, and an in game command for adding or removing blacklisted domains. Some configuration ideas, like real pixels per Minecraft pixel and disabling the miniserv in solo, appear there too.

The license change

Because maintenance stopped, the license was changed recently so others can fork and redistribute the mod freely. The project is effectively a handover: the author moved on, and the wiki plus the open license are what remain for the community.

Editorial conclusion

WebDisplays for Minecraft 1.12.2 is an unmaintained but openly licensed mod. Block and item docs sit on the author's wiki, and a short list of delayed features shows where development stopped.
