MCEF (Minecraft Chromium Embedded Framework)
MCEF is a specialized library and modification for Minecraft that integrates the Chromium web browser directly into the game environment. It's important to understand that this mod by itself doesn't provide ready-to-use features for players — its main purpose is to create a technological foundation for other modifications that can utilize web browser capabilities.
This project is built on java-cef (Java Chromium Embedded Framework), which in turn uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework), based on the Chromium engine. Initial development was done by montoyo, and currently the project has been completely rewritten and is maintained by the CinemaMod Group team.
The system automatically downloads the necessary java-cef and CEF components for proper Chromium browser operation. This requires connection to download servers.
