⚙️ How it works (please read)
The mod has no server component. Players' game clients talk to each other through private chat messages (/msg). The mod hides these messages automatically, so you don't see them.
- Works on most servers out of the box.
- If a server blocks or heavily rate-limits
/msg, the games can't sync. Please respect your server's rules. - The host's client runs the game, so if the host leaves, the lobby closes.
- All players in a lobby need the same mod version.
📦 Requirements
- Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
- Minecraft 26.3 (separate files)
