Neon is a Bukkit-based plugin written in Java that serves to provide a user-friendly way to browser the internet. Besides rendering websites, it's able to support playback from videos, files, etc. on the internet. Since Neon uses Selenium, the plugin is able to load web pages at blazing fast speeds.
Neon was heavily inspired by my EzMediaCore library, which was a plugin that was able to play videos from the internet. It took advantage of playback using VLC Media Player, FFmpeg, and YoutubeDL, but the code base became too complex and I wanted to divert to a project that is more general. That's when I had the idea of websites.
