Features: - Live desktop game video streamed to your phone - Touch controls for movement, looking, jumping, sneaking, clicking, and hotbar selection - Dedicated chat screen with rich chat formatting - Server picker support when your desktop client is at the title screen - Data Saver mode for lower bandwidth sessions - Timed notifications and countdowns for supported in-game events - Optional web audio session routing - Password-protected local/private-network connection MonkeyCraft is designed for users who already run the supported Java desktop game client with the companion mod installed.

Network access is user-provided over localhost, local Wi-Fi, or another private network path configured by the user outside MonkeyCraft.
