I made a Fabric mod that lets you host Minecraft without port forwarding
Hey! I’ve been working on a small open-source project called VoxelPort.
The idea is simple: you can host your Minecraft world/server from your own PC without setting up port forwarding, renting a VPS, or asking your friends to install anything.
With the Fabric mod, you can open a singleplayer world normally and VoxelPort gives you a public address like:
play.voxelport.in:xxxxx
Your friends can paste that into normal vanilla Minecraft and join. They do not need Fabric or VoxelPort installed.
It also works on dedicated Fabric servers.
Why I made it
A lot of people either can't port forward because of CGNAT/ISP restrictions or simply don't want to deal with router configuration.
I wanted something specifically for Minecraft where you could basically:
Open world → Open to VoxelPort → Share address → Play
The connection goes through a relay, so your home IP isn't shared with players, while your actual world and server files stay on your own machine.
About the development
I also want to be transparent: AI was used heavily while building VoxelPort, especially for helping with development and debugging.
That said, this isn't something I just generated and uploaded without testing. I've tested it with multiple people, different setups, and real Minecraft sessions, and it has been working reliably for us.
I'm still actively maintaining it, testing changes, and fixing anything that comes up.
It's completely free, open-source, and MIT licensed.

It's still an early project, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, bug reports, or suggestions from other Fabric users.
