## What it is
A Fabric mod for Minecraft that implements a Wayland compositor, letting users run real Linux desktop applications inside the Minecraft game world as interactive windows. It supports keyboard/mouse capture, an app launcher, a window manager, and X11 apps via xwayland-satellite.

## Use cases
- run Linux desktop apps inside Minecraft
- use a Wayland compositor in a game
- open terminal or GUI apps on in-game windows
- play X11 games within Minecraft
- experiment with Wayland protocols in a novel environment

## When to choose
- you want to run real applications inside Minecraft on Linux
- you're looking for a fun Wayland compositor experiment
- you want a client-side Fabric mod that renders desktop windows in-game

## When to avoid
- you need a production Wayland compositor for daily desktop use
- you're on Windows or macOS
- you need multiplayer-shared windows without server support
- you use a flatpak-packaged launcher or rely on Zink drivers
