Quick_Start
by Xeno_Slime
Quick_Start lets a player launch a local Minecraft server with one click from the multiplayer screen, and stop it from the pause menu.
What it does
Quick_Start is a client-side utility for Fabric and NeoForge, published for 1.20.1 – 26.2 across 22 release versions. Only the client needs it, so a server runs without it and players can join without installing anything. The code is MIT licensed, but the mod is not open source.
The mod adds a start and stop button to the multiplayer screen and a mini control button to the pause screen. Stopping sends the stop command and waits for the world to be saved, rather than killing the process. A localhost entry is added to the server list automatically, and an optional confirmation dialog can be shown before the server closes.
World handling covers the single-player and create-world flow. The world selection screen loads the chosen save before the server starts. Immediately after a world is picked, a lock blocks deletion for a short window, and removed worlds land in the Recycle Bin along with their nether and end folders. Before the first start, the mod registers the operator entry in ops.json, but only if nobody has been registered yet.
Key features
One-click server start
The multiplayer screen gets a button that launches a local Minecraft server without opening a terminal.
Clean shutdown
The stop button sends a stop command so the world is saved before the server closes, instead of the process being killed.
Pause menu control
A mini control button on the pause screen lets the player stop the local server while in a game.
Accidental delete protection
A world is locked for a few seconds after selection, so a misclick on delete cannot remove it at once.
Recycle Bin deletion
Deleted worlds are moved to the Recycle Bin with their nether and end folders, rather than erased.
Start scripts
Windows .bat and Linux or Mac .sh start scripts are both supported, and the mod was developed and tested on Windows.
