QuickHost
by stacik_
QuickHost lets a player open a single-player world to friends on the same network through UPnP, so no port forwarding is needed.
What it does
Hosting a world that friends can join usually means configuring the router by hand. QuickHost asks the router to open the port itself through UPnP, so the world becomes reachable from other players without that manual step. The mod is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and only the client needs it, so the friends who join can run the game with no mod at all.
A host console and a host config screen let the player control the session from inside the game. The author's gallery shows an orange Livebox mobile router and a router login page, with the default password printed on a sticker, as an example of the setup. Installation needs Fabric, and the mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
UPnP hosting
Opens the world to friends on the local network through UPnP, without editing router settings.
Host console
A console inside the game shows the state of the hosted session and lets the host manage it.
Host configuration
A config screen sets how the hosted world is published, with options shown in the author's gallery.
No mod for friends
Players who join a QuickHost world do not install anything, since the mod only runs on the host's client.
