unofficial playit-gg mod
by maxomatic458
With the unofficial playit-gg mod installed, a singleplayer world or a server can be reached from the internet without port forwarding, through a tunnel run by the playit service.
What it does
The mod connects a Minecraft world to the playit tunnel service, so players outside the local network can join without any router configuration. A singleplayer world can be opened to others with a single command, and a dedicated server can be set to start its tunnel automatically when it launches.
Commands cover the whole connection: checking its status, restarting the connection manager, shutting the connection down, and manually setting the secret used to link the mod to a playit account. Settings are read and changed with the get and set commands, including the timeout in seconds for a tunnel channel, which defaults to 30 seconds. Existing connections stay open until they are closed.
The mod is published for Fabric and Forge across 14 game versions, 1.19 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and it is open source. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on one side is enough.
Key features
Public singleplayer worlds
The open-lan command makes a singleplayer world reachable by other players through the playit tunnel.
Connection commands
The status, restart and shutdown commands report and control the playit connection manager.
Manual secret setup
The set-secret command lets the account secret be entered by hand instead of through the setup flow.
Configurable options
The get and set commands read and change settings, such as the tunnel channel timeout and whether playit starts with the server.
