VoxLink
by AUGUHDAR
With VoxLink, players connect to friends across home networks by punching through NAT, with rooms for finding playmates in a lobby.
What it does
VoxLink is a client-side only mod for multiplayer connections between players on different networks. Where a direct connection fails, it keeps trying a second method, reverse punching, so one side can reach the other even when both sit behind NAT. Connection success depends heavily on the networks of both sides: players on the same ISP or a home broadband line usually connect without trouble, while campus, office or phone hotspot networks succeed less often, and symmetric NAT on both ends lowers the rate further. Restarting the game or refreshing ports sometimes helps. The mod is still beta and its punching strategies are being improved.
A later build can fetch Terracotta P2P from the mod settings and run it alongside VoxLink's own punching. Terracotta is faster in simple cases, while VoxLink handles trickier networks with better success rates. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Simple Voice Chat works alongside it, and ViaVersion and ViaFabric are supported.
Key features
Rooms and lobbies
Players can create rooms with a player limit, join friends, and find new playmates in a lobby. Offline players can also take part.
Reverse punching
When direct punching fails, VoxLink tries reverse punching, so one side can initiate the connection that the other side cannot.
Room name check
Room names are checked by AI before a room goes public.
Twelve interface languages
The interface is available in 12 languages, covering East Asian, European, Arabic and Latin options alongside Simplified Chinese.

What the author says
Open your world, create a room, get a 6-digit code, send it to your friend, they type it in, done. No port forwarding, no router stuff, no server, you don't even need to know what a public IP is. Install mod, make room, send code, that's it. Still in Beta. Sometimes connects in seconds, sometimes just... doesn't…
