\n– Zero setup for players \u2014 Server owner installs the mod, gets an auto-provisioned free trial with no signup required<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
Press ‘ (apostrophe) to open the StreamCraft menu. First-time users see a “How It Works” overview explaining privacy and features. Toggle your webcam or screen share on, and nearby players see your feed automatically. Video is routed through LiveKit Cloud (WebRTC) for sub-500ms latency.<\/p>\n
Mac\/Linux first-time setup: when you open the menu for the first time, a brief download fetches platform-specific native libraries (FFmpeg + OpenCV + the macOS audio bridge) from The Block Academy. The mod itself stays small (~5 MB); the libraries are downloaded once per version and cached locally \u2014 second launch goes straight to the menu.<\/p>\n
macOS audio: grant Screen Recording permission once and you’ll get both screen video and full system audio capture \u2014 no BlackHole, no Audio MIDI Setup, no admin password (macOS 13.0+). Older macOS gets mic-only audio.<\/p>\n
Requirements
\n– Minecraft 1.20.1 through 26.1.x (Fabric) \u2014 9 supported versions
\n– Multiplayer only \u2014 requires the mod installed on both client and server
\n– Fabric API
\n– Java 17+ (Java 21 for most versions, Java 25 for 26.1 \u2014 your launcher handles this automatically)
\n– macOS broadcasting: macOS 11.0+ for screen share, macOS 13.0+ for system audio
\n– Linux broadcasting: X11 or XWayland (native Wayland support is future work)<\/p>\n

Right-click to select which stream to display and choose a block appearance to blend into your builds. Active streams illuminate the area around them. All settings are saved \u2014 your blocks look the same every time you log in.<\/p>\n
