LAN stuff
by Kreil_88737
LAN stuff gives a player who opens a singleplayer world to LAN a set of controls over who may join and how the server appears in the list.
What it does
Once a world is opened to LAN, the mod adds an invite mode that admits only whitelisted players, along with commands to add and remove names from the whitelist, switch the whitelist off, and toggle invite mode on or off. The LAN world manager screen in the UI exposes the same settings for players who prefer not to type commands.
Other settings cover the number of players allowed in, the description and message of the day shown in the server list, and whether offline login is accepted. Players can be banned by name or by IP address with a reason, and unbanned again. The mod runs with Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric or Quilt.
Only the client needs it, so friends who join a LAN world do not have to install anything. Files are released for Fabric and Quilt across 1.21.6, 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, and the mod is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. It is not open source.

How it compares
Auto-Lan is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.21 – 1.21.8 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so it is needed on both sides. Custom LAN covers 1.14 – 1.21.8 on the same loaders and is also client and server and open source under the MIT License. LAN stuff differs in being client-side only, so the friends who join need nothing installed.
