BlazeSDL
Replace GLFW with SDL3 in Minecraft for better Wayland support.
Screenshots
About this Mod
Minecraft uses GLFW as underlying windowing library. This mod ports Minecraft to SDL3, to get:
- Better IME (Input Method Editor) support
- Better Wayland support
- More efficient event polling (by eliminating JNI upcall of GLFW)
- More to come...
Mojang already uses SDL3 in 26.3-snapshot 4. So no more new version will be supported in BlazeSDL!

Does BlazeSDL need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks BlazeSDL as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does BlazeSDL require?
Use a file for fabric, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.2-pre-2, 26.2-snapshot-7. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
BlazeSDL is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
