Quick LAN
by Elyas20
Quick LAN opens a singleplayer world to the local network on port 25565 as soon as the world finishes loading, so friends can join without a manual step.
What it does
When a singleplayer world finishes loading, Quick LAN publishes it on LAN port 25565 automatically, skipping the Open to LAN screen in the pause menu. The mod is built on mixins into the client and the integrated server. It runs on client and server, and Fabric API is required beside it.
Players who join a Quick LAN world start in the host's gamemode, whatever mode the host is in at the time. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1.2, and the latest build is 1.1, released 2026-07-12 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with the source code and issue tracker public.
Key features
Automatic LAN opening
Once the singleplayer world finishes loading, port 25565 is opened for LAN play without any action from the player, so the pause menu's Open to LAN button is not needed.
Gamemode matching
New players who join always start in the same gamemode as the host, whichever mode the host is currently in.
Mixin-based integration
The changes are applied through mixins targeting the client and integrated server, so the hook sits inside the existing LAN code path.

How it compares
LAN Player Limit Modifier (LPLM) is also a Fabric mod for client and server with a broader version range, 1.21 – 26.3, but it is not open source and carries a Creative Commons license. BedrockBridge covers the same 26.1.2 build as Quick LAN and is open source under the MIT License, though it is client and server as well.
