WAN Party (for Fabric and Forge)
WAN Party is a free and open-source optimization mod for sharing your LAN world server / normal server without network configuration.
Installation
The latest releases of WAN Party are published to our official Modrinth page. These releases are considered by our team to be suitable for general use, but they are not guaranteed to be free of bugs and other issues.
How to use
To share your LAN world, simply go to "Open to LAN" as usual. The mod should add a "Share to WAN" button. When enabled, it would create an address which other people can join the server with.


Known Issues
Currently skin loading is buggy so sometimes players would have default skins. One current bypass is using another mod that fixes this.
