Minecraft Crossover Bridge

What it does

Minecraft runs natively on macOS while the host game runs under CrossOver. The bridge composites Minecraft blocks, mobs and the player's hand into the host frame with depth/lighting, maps host collision into Minecraft, and bridges combat damage in both directions.

How it works

Fabric + native Windows bridge DLLs + shared memory + frame/depth compositing

Evidence limits

On 2026-10-10 I re-read the public git history of the repository: repo HEAD (2026-10-01, no tags); no change to status, licence or requirements, so the record stands. CurseForge/Modrinth pages and play-testing were not re-checked.
