The world is healing.
Wow. I could have used the P2P connection thing 16 years ago. Would have made things so much easier lol
I wonder if mods can backport the P2P system to older versions in the future, or if it's going to be like Bedrock where it isn't really peer to peer (as far as i know)
There are mods that let you use LAN as an online server. There's also e4mc that does the same but using reverse proxy, I personally tried it and it worked even with heavily modded worlds, the only downside is that due to the nature of such mods being free during peak times the proxies can become overloaded and won't let you connect.
how to turn a very mid update into easily the best one since caves & cliffs, holy shit!
With Vulcan and now easy multiplayer hosting, I wonder if they’re finally reacting to all the competing block games, especially Hytale. Or maybe they intend to get the Essentials mod shut down for having a cosmetics store and want to make sure they don’t piss off everyone who needs its multiplayer functionality.
Finally finished what they aimed to do with Release 1.3, which came out nearly 14 years ago. Lol.
