GarryCraft
Minecraft gameplay inside Garry’s Mod. Minecraft handles movement, blocks, inventory, and mobs. Garry’s Mod supplies maps, props, NPCs, and rendering.

Install V1
Windows x64 and 64-bit Garry’s Mod are required. Single-player only.
Own Garry’s Mod and Minecraft Java Edition. Setup downloads Minecraft Java 26.3, Fabric, and a private Java 25 runtime.
You do not need build tools, a separate Java installation, or PowerShell 7.
- In Steam, select Garry’s Mod > Properties > Betas > x86-64.
- Wait for the update, then close Garry’s Mod.
- Download GarryCraft-1.0.4-windows-x64.zip from the latest release. Use this asset, not the Source code archives.
- Extract the entire ZIP and open Install.cmd.
- Open the printed Play.cmd path and select Sandbox > gm_construct > Single Player.
Setup finds Garry’s Mod in your Steam libraries and installs GarryCraft.
If asked for the game folder, use Steam’s Properties > Installed Files > Browse and paste that path.
Minecraft gets its own installation and required mods at %LOCALAPPDATA%\GarryCraft\player.
Your existing Minecraft installation stays separate. Your enabled GMod addons load as usual.
Setup stops if your GMod engine build is unsupported. Steam updates can require a new GarryCraft release.
See installation help for fixes, logs, and manual installation.
Open Play.cmd to start a GarryCraft session. Minecraft starts when you load a single-player map.
Launch GMod through Steam for normal play. GarryCraft’s bridge code and native modules stay inactive in that session.
Each GarryCraft map keeps a separate Minecraft world.
Use Spawn Menu > Utilities > GarryCraft, or garrycraft_menu, to enable or disable the bridge.
Open Uninstall.cmd to remove GarryCraft. It preserves worlds and settings by default.
Use Uninstall.cmd -Purge for a complete reset, including those worlds and settings.
From a source checkout, Install.cmd downloads and runs the matching compiled release installer automatically.
If release contains the matching ZIP and checksum, setup verifies and uses that local package.
Current limits
V1 targets local Windows x64 Sandbox play. Other maps, game modes, and addons need separate compatibility tests.
Physics and rendering have known limits. Source lighting does not reproduce Minecraft lighting.
Read feature coverage and architecture before reporting compatibility or complete physics parity.
Development
Read AGENTS.md for contributor and coding-agent instructions.
Development requires JDK 25, PowerShell 7, Visual Studio 2022 C++ tools, and CMake.
Use a separate GMod installation with a .garrycraft-lab marker.
.\tools\Build.ps1
.\tools\Setup-Lab.ps1 -LabPath "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\GarryCraft\gmod-lab"
Keep generated game files, account data, logs, and test worlds outside tracked source.
See release packaging and installer scenarios.
The bridge builds on SkyCraft.
