Wayland compositor implemented as a mod in Minecraft

A new Minecraft mod called waylandcraft implements a fully functional Wayland compositor within the game, allowing users to run Linux applications and manage windows directly in their Minecraft world. The mod supports features like drag-and-drop between windows and HUD integration, though it's currently limited to Linux systems only.

Background

Wayland is a modern display server protocol for Linux systems that replaces the older X11 system, while Minecraft mods are user-created modifications that add new features to the popular sandbox game.
