Minecraft Start

A personal Chrome new‑tab page as a small local (unpacked) extension:

• 🎞️ Live video wallpaper (any .mp4 you drop in as bg.mp4)
• 🕒 Big clock + date, and a search bar (web search or type a URL)
• 🟫 Bottom‑half tile grid styled like Minecraft inventory slots
• 📁 Bookmark folder picker — choose any one of your bookmark folders and its links fill the grid. Subfolders show as 📁 tiles you can drill into (with an ⬑ up button), plus a filter box.
• ➕ Add your own custom tiles (saved per‑folder in chrome.storage, ✕ to remove)
• Favicons come from Chrome's offline favicon cache — no external tracking.

Install (Load unpacked)

Chrome blocks installing packed .crx files that aren't from the Web Store, so the supported way to run a personal extension is "Load unpacked".

1. Clone this repo (or download it).
2. Add a wallpaper: drop any video in the folder and name it bg.mp4 (or run ./set-wallpaper.sh /path/to/video.mp4). The page still works without one — you just get a dark background.
3. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top‑right).
4. Click Load unpacked and pick this folder.
5. Open a new tab. If Chrome asks to keep the new‑tab change, choose Keep.

Change the wallpaper later

./set-wallpaper.sh /path/to/another-video.mp4

…then hit the ↻ reload icon on the extension card in chrome://extensions.

Permissions

bookmarks (read folders/links), storage (your custom tiles + last folder), favicon (offline favicons). No network calls except Google Fonts for the clock font, which degrades gracefully to a monospace fallback offline.
