VoxelPort
Host your Minecraft singleplayer world over the internet and invite friends with a 6-character room code — no port forwarding, no router config, no VPN.
Requires: Fabric Loader · Minecraft 26.x · Java 25+
Side: Client only
⚠️ You must join the VoxelPort Discord server to use this mod — identity verification is done via Discord DM.
How it works
- Open a singleplayer world
- Open the pause menu → click Open to VoxelPort
- Verify your Discord account (one-time — bot sends you a 6-digit DM code)
- A room code like
G0GI5Zis copied to your clipboard - Share it with your friends — they click Join via VoxelPort on the multiplayer screen, paste the code, and connect
No port forwarding. No static IP. No extra software.
Features
- Relay network — traffic is routed through the VoxelPort relay so your home IP is never exposed to players
- Discord verification — no account creation needed, just a DM from the VoxelPort bot with a 6-digit code
- 6-character room codes — cleaner than IP addresses or long URLs
- Live relay ping — shown in the tab list header with color coding (green/yellow/red)
- Settings screen — override the relay server URL from inside Minecraft (⚙ button on the multiplayer screen)
- Machine-bound auth — your verification is tied to your computer, so auth files can't be copied between machines
- Per-session validation — the bot checks your Discord membership before every session starts
Privacy
VoxelPort stores a local auth cache and machine fingerprint in your Minecraft config folder (config/voxelport/). The following is sent to the VoxelPort bot server:
- Your Discord username (to look you up in the server)
- Your Discord user ID + machine ID (for session validation)
No passwords. No email. No game data. No analytics. Full privacy policy: voxelport.qzz.io/legal

Honest downside: Our relay is currently on a single server in India. Players in South/Southeast Asia get excellent latency. Europe and North America will see higher relay overhead (~100–250ms). We plan to expand if the project grows.
