Web pages on monitors

01 / What it was

After the terminal worked, we wanted the in-game monitors to show real, clickable web pages: a site, a dashboard, a local port. Not screenshots of pages, a real browser.

The first try showed the website as text inside the terminal. The next one loaded a real browser but did not fit the computer's frame. In the end we went back to a simpler version with two rules: the page also shows on the monitor, and leaving the screen does not close the page.

02 / How it worked

• Pages are drawn by MCEF Modern, a third-party mod that puts a Chromium browser into Minecraft.
• Before that, the monitors themselves were see-through. That bug was tracked as an issue and fixed in the same session.
• In release candidate 1.1, pages are pinned to monitor walls, shared, capped in number, and restored after a restart.
• The page address comes back after a game restart; what you did inside the page does not.
• In v1.2.0 walls got proper keyboard input, tabs, per-wall sound, and a guard after three walls kept closing each other's pages and opened about 2,400 browsers in 90 seconds.

03 / What we saw

A page that stays on a wall turned out to be useful in itself. The builder kept coming back to 'persistent pages' as a main feature in every film plan.

04 / Where it led

Web walls became one of the core parts of Omo Space.
