This is a way to play Minecraft that feels like LAN but it actually works over the internet.
From what I see you just host your world like a normal LAN world or a local server. Then your friends join the same room in the program and the game shows your world like it is on their LAN too.
It is nice because you do not need port forwarding or a public IP. It also works even if you are stuck behind weird internet stuff like CGNAT or a dorm network. You just install it click a few things and start playing together.
If your router and ports are already set up then you probably do not need this. But if you keep fighting your network and nothing works this looks like an easy way to play Minecraft with your friends without all the networking pain.

Join Our Semi Vanilla SMP Test
I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They plan to fully start in about a week so it feels like a good time to hop in early and help check things out.
It is survival multiplayer with that mostly normal vanilla feel.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Lifesteal Java 1.21.11
I found a Java lifesteal server that is planned to launch around February 28th but the time is not set yet so it could change.
It is semi anarchy so you can raid and grief bases but there are still rules you have to follow.
They said there will be no crystal pvp. The server is on 1.21.11. You can also request plugins through their plugins channel.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPREAL Resource Economy Survival Server
I found this server that is all about real resource limits so the economy actually matters. It feels more natural and you are supposed to think about what gets mined and who controls it.
People can lean into different roles like running underground production and big building projects. You can also focus on the combat supply chain with weapons and armor or go for the underworld route and control the healing economy.
There is also a tooling path with premium tools and special enhancements. The server has a must see map too and it even has a big train so exploring it is pretty cool.WebsiteDiscordGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Modded SMP With PvP Launch Day
This is a brand new modded survival server that is starting up with PvP turned on.
Players can focus on surviving and building big bases then team up with others to form alliances. There is fighting too but the vibe is meant to stay competitive and respectful without toxic chaos.
The modpack is set up to be easy to install through Modrinth so jumping in at launch should be simple.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMachine Craft Tekkit Classic PvP Freedom
Community-Driven Changesindustrial machines playLight rule setplayer land claimstech progression server
Machine Craft is a Tekkit Classic server for people who miss the old modded days and want a world that stays stable. It feels like a place where big builds can stick around and your ideas do not get wiped for no reason.
The rules are pretty light so most EMC farms and items are allowed and not changed. You can protect your land and machines with GriefPrevention and LWC which helps a lot if you like building tech bases.
PvP is on and griefing can happen if you do not claim your area. Chat is linked with Discord so people can talk even when they are not in game. The server runs Tekkit Classic 3.1.2 on Minecraft 1.2.5 and it is hosted in US East. World files can be requested and players get a say through community polls.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
