OpenLink

by Star Carefree

OpenLink is a Minecraft Java multiplayer utility that connects a player's client to an external network service for play across regions, supporting Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyCustom license1.16.5 – 1.21.5

What it does

OpenLink runs on the client only, so players install it alone and servers need nothing extra. It targets the Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt loaders, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 1.21.5 across nine release versions, and the latest file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.5, published on 2025-06-20. The first release dates from 2024-09-30.

The mod is categorized as Optimization, with secondary tags for Social, Utility, Game mechanics, Library and Management. It is required by one other catalog mod, OpenLink Chmlfrp Extension, which adds its own connection options. OpenLink is released under a custom license and is not open source, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked.

Key features

  1. Automatic node selection

    The mod chooses a connection node automatically, with a separate node optimization step for players who want to tune routing.

  2. Account panel

    A dedicated panel shows account details and connection state, and can be cleared when a player signs out.

  3. Secure credential storage

    Login credentials are kept in protected storage rather than in plain text settings files.

  4. Multiplayer settings

    Extra options for multiplayer connections are exposed in the settings screen, covering how the client joins a remote session.

Questions

Does OpenLink need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which loader does OpenLink support?

OpenLink has files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest build for each is 1.1.1 for 1.21.5.

Does OpenLink require another mod?

No required dependency is listed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. OpenLink Chmlfrp Extension is a catalog mod that requires OpenLink, not the other way around.
