About
A lighter way to enter block worlds
TabWorld is a browser-first launcher and play hub — built for quick sessions, shared servers, and curious builders.
Why browser-first
Installs and launchers add friction. A browser is already on every device. TabWorld leans into that: open a tab, and you are one click from a world.
What it is (and isn’t)
TabWorld is the launcher and the layer around the game — servers, profiles, docs. The game runtime runs in your browser. TabWorld is built by Mark Ellington, independent and not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft.
