I believe the mod linked in the OP is a different project from the one discussed in your submission.

It's wild that two different people have developed something like this though

indeed, they're very different! The older one is minecraft-styled WL compositor and this is wayland inside actual minecraft (which I find a tiny bit more impressive to be honest)

IMPORTANT: This mod only runs under Linux! MacOS or Windows are not supported.

I had a brief, terrifying mental image of wayland.exe.

My biggest Wayland problems have been on Windows, actually...

You run Wayland on Windows?

The graphical system for WSL does :-)

Huh. TIL!

WSL has some components so that you can run graphical applications, including Wayland.

It's merely anecdotical, but the Android emulator gave me quite a bit of trouble, and IIRC, forcing it to use X11 solved my issues.

I really enjoy stumbling upon Minecraft mods that are in part implemented in Rust.
