by Polyfrost

With Poly+, players can host a world for friends from the main menu without port forwarding, and the mod adds OneClient's online features to the game.

What it does

Poly+ is the companion mod for OneClient. The main menu gains a button that replaces Open to LAN, and friends who join need Poly+ as well. Hosts pick the mode of play and decide whether cheats are permitted, invite single friends or a group, and share a resource pack with everyone who joins through the sharepack command. Regular LAN hosting remains available alongside these options.

The social side covers adding friends by username, direct messages, group chats and player blocking, all opened from the Social menu with Shift+P. Cosmetics include headwear, eyewear, handwear, footwear, auras, back and shoulder items, pets on modern versions, and emotes picked from an emote wheel. Typing a shortcode such as :sob: in chat turns it into an emoji, with suggestions and a picker beside the chat box.

Poly+ replaces the title screen with a shortcut to recent servers, a 3D preview of the player, an account switcher and featured servers. Each part can be hidden, or the vanilla menu can be restored. The online features depend on accepting the platform's terms and privacy statement; declining keeps hosting, friends, chat and cosmetics off, and the answer can be changed under Privacy in the Poly+ settings. The mod does not work with two older automation tools or with an outdated waypoint mod.

Questions

Does Poly+ need Fabric API?

Only the Fabric builds need it. Ornithe builds do not. Fabric Language Kotlin and OneConfig are required on both loaders.

Do friends need Poly+ to join a hosted world?

Yes. Friends who join a world opened through Poly+ need the mod too, while hosting itself needs no port forwarding.
