📡 Player Relay
Player Relay makes it easy to share your in-game status with friends through self-hosted relays. When you join a relay, your player information (position, health, XP, etc.) is broadcast so others can see it - perfect for:
- Finding lost friends on a server
- Checking your groups status at a glance

💡 Notes
- Never share your real IP address with people you don’t trust.
To let others connect to your hosted relay, you have to give them your public IP. - If your router doesn’t support UPnP, you may need to manually port forward your hosting port so others can connect.
- Want to avoid exposing your real IP or can’t use UPnP/port forwarding?
You can use a virtual LAN (VLAN) service like ZeroTier or Hamachi. These tools create a private virtual network between all players.
Everyone must join the same virtual network for the relay to work, and players will see only the virtual IP, not your real one.
