I just released VoxelPort 1.2.0, a Fabric mod that lets you host a singleplayer world

and invite friends with a short room code — no port forwarding, no IP sharing, no hassle.

**How it works:**

- Host clicks "Host with VoxelPort" on the multiplayer screen

- Verify once via a Discord DM (6-digit code, no OAuth)

- Share a code like `AB12CD` with your friends

- Friends enter it in-game and connect through the VoxelPort relay

**What's new in 1.2.0:**

- In-game settings screen to configure a custom relay server (⚙ on the multiplayer screen)

- Live relay ping shown in the tab list header with green/yellow/red color coding

- Per-session Discord validation before hosting or joining (security fix)

- Machine-bound auth cache — auth files can no longer be shared between computers

- Relay URL is dynamically fetched at startup — no mod update needed if the relay changes

**Why Discord verification?**

It's a lightweight way to prevent anonymous abuse of the relay without requiring

accounts or passwords. One verification, cached for 12 hours.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a project called LocalM and wanted to get feedback from Minecraft server admins.

The idea is to make Minecraft server hosting and local tunneling easier, mainly for people who want to host a server and let friends connect without dealing with too much networking setup.

I’m trying to understand what server owners would actually want from a tool like this.

A few questions:

• Would local tunneling for Minecraft servers be useful to you?
• What setup problems do beginners usually face?
• What features would make server hosting easier?
• Is there anything I should avoid building?

Project website: https://localm.eu.org/

I’m still learning and building this, so honest feedback would really help.

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share LocalM, a project I’ve been working on with the Local Miner team.

LocalM is focused on making Minecraft server hosting and local tunneling easier for players and developers. The goal is to simplify the process of setting up a server, connecting with friends, and managing everything without making it too complicated.

My Partner: https://github.com/healer-op

This project has been a really good learning experience for me. I got to work on real-world software, improve my development skills, and contribute to something that people can actually use.

I’d love to get feedback from the community. Suggestions, criticism, ideas, or support would mean a lot.

Thanks for checking it out!
