NgrokLAN Reyoung
by fkrystal
NgrokLAN Reyoung lets a player open a singleplayer world to friends over the internet through an Ngrok tunnel, with no port forwarding.
What it does
The mod is a remake of an earlier Ngrok-LAN project for Minecraft 1.16.5, built for the Fabric loader. A player with a free Ngrok account starts a tunnel from the game, and Ngrok returns a link that friends can use to connect to the hosted singleplayer world from anywhere. Ngrok routes the traffic through its datacentres, so the router of the host does not have to forward any port. The mod is client-side only, so only the host runs it and friends do not need to install anything.
Installation requires Cloth Config API, LAN Operators and Mod Menu alongside Fabric Loader and Fabric API. Getting it running involves adding a 1.16.5 profile to the launcher, dropping the mod JAR into the mods folder, and confirming that the Ngrok auth token is valid with the right region chosen. The files target 1.16 – 1.16.5, with 1.16.5-1.0rc1 as the latest release, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Tunnel start from the game
Starting a tunnel from the game makes the host's singleplayer world reachable by a Ngrok link.
No port forwarding
Ngrok exposes the local game over the internet, so the router of the host needs no forwarded port.
Shareable link
Each session gives a link that friends can enter to join the hosted world.
Ngrok region and token settings
The auth token and the region are set in the mod options and must be valid before a tunnel can open.

How it compares
LAN Extender is a client-side only Fabric mod under the ISC License, open source, with files for 1.17 – 1.19.2. Engrok is open source under the MIT License, but it is server-side only and targets 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it fits a different setup. Quick LAN is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on client and server, and is published for 26.1.2 alone.
