About ProximaTunnel
From ModrinthA plugin that allows you to play with friends on a local server without opening ports.
ProximaTunnel
Play with your friends on your local Minecraft server without opening ports or installing any extra programs!
✨ Features
- ✅ Simple installation – just drop the plugin into your plugins folder
- ✅ No need for port forwarding
- ✅ No third-party software required
- ✅ Works out-of-the-box
- ✅ Supports Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21
⚙️ How it works
- You can place the plugin file into the plugins folder on your server. In this case, it will work as a plugin and automatically add the server to your list when launched.
- Alternatively, you can place the same file into the mods folder on your client. In this mode, it will work as a mod. To allow your friends to join, you need to open your single-player world to LAN.
- Your friends can connect to proximamp.com using the Minecraft version supported by your server (or ViaVersion if installed).
- Once connected, open the menu.
- In the bottom-right corner, select “Локальные сервера” (command block icon).
- Choose your friend’s server from the list and join instantly.
Why use ProximaTunnel?
Hosting a server for friends is often tricky: opening ports, configuring routers, or downloading additional tools. With ProximaTunnel, you just start your server, and your friends can join immediately.
