LAN Player Limit Modifier (LPLM)
by Cinnaminin
LAN Player Limit Modifier raises the player cap that Minecraft applies when a world is opened to LAN, replacing the built-in limit of 8.
What it does
When a player opens a singleplayer world to LAN, the game normally allows up to 8 players to join. This Fabric mod changes that built-in limit, so a host can let more friends connect to the same session. It works on the client and server, so both the host and joining players run it.
The mod also includes a limited hosting option that keeps the built-in limit as its ceiling. Because the limit is changed on the game side, it is set by the mod rather than by a server command. Fabric is the only loader it is published for.
Files are published for 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is mc26.x-lplm1.0.1 for 26.3, dated 2026-06-05. Builds for 1.21.1, 1.21.8 and 1.21.10 are listed with Fabric Loader 0.17.2, and later builds target newer loader releases. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Friend groups in one session

Who it’s for: Players who host LAN worlds for friends, and groups who play on one local network and need more player slots than the vanilla limit allows.
