I designed this because setting up servers and port forwarding is a headache. Just open the app, share a code, and your friends are in your world within seconds.
I took away everything complicated about playing Minecraft with friends.
Forget about router settings, firewalls, and IP addresses. If you can click a button, you can host a world.
Only your Minecraft game traffic passes through the encrypted tunnel. The rest of your computer stays completely private.
Whether you play standard Vanilla, use Forge for mods, Fabric, or Optifine, it simply works without any extra steps.
It's just a single, lightweight .exe file. You can run it straight from a USB drive or your desktop. No setup required.
I use premium routing networks in the background to make sure you get the fastest possible connection, wherever your friends are.
No hidden fees, no subscriptions, no premium tiers, and absolutely no ads. Just a tool made to help you play.
Run and manage full Minecraft dedicated servers directly on your PC. Zero router setup, automatic Java, live terminal, and instant Modrinth addon hub.
Central management hub with real-time room code, server status, and one-click start/stop.
Configure MOTD, difficulty, gamemodes, max players, PvP, and custom server properties.
Real-time server terminal with smart command autocomplete (/) and live logs.
Live MOTD color preview and automatic server listing directly inside Minecraft.
Live player avatars, instant gamemode switching, OP permissions, and kick controls.
Everything you need to know about hosting full dedicated servers.
Not at all! Minecraft Bridge automatically detects the required Java version for your selected engine (Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, Vanilla) and installs it seamlessly in the background.
With standard LAN hosting, you must keep Minecraft open and play inside the world. Server Studio runs a true standalone dedicated server in the background, supporting heavy server plugins, custom mods, dynamic roles, and live console commands even when you are not playing.
Yes! The built-in Modrinth Addon Hub lets you search, download, and install thousands of verified plugins and mods instantly with automated compatibility checks.
You can take 1-click snapshots at any time. The studio compresses and safely stores your world data, allowing you to restore any snapshot in seconds if something goes wrong.
You can customize your server name, live MOTD color palette, and player limits. Your server will automatically show up directly in your friends' Minecraft multiplayer server list with zero configuration.
No matter who is hosting, it takes less than a minute to set up.
Start up any Singleplayer world you want to play on.
Hit ESC, click "Open to LAN", and start it up.
Click the big "Create New Room" button in my app.
Copy the code it gives you and send it to your friend.
Have them download this same free app.
They just need to open Minecraft and go to the Multiplayer screen.
They paste the code you sent them into the app and hit Join.
Your world will magically appear in their server list. Easy!
Start playing with your friends today. 100% free, forever.
I try to keep things simple, but here are some common questions.
Yep! Both you and your friend need the app running. It's super small and opens instantly.
Not at all. You can play Vanilla, run heavy Forge modpacks, or use Fabric. As long as you both have the same game version and mods, the app will connect you perfectly.
It is completely safe. The app creates a secure tunnel that only looks for Minecraft data. Nobody can access your computer, see your IP address, or view your files.
Because nobody likes installing virtual network adapters or dealing with confusing IP configurations. Our app doesn't install anything deep in your system, it just runs, works, and closes when you're done.
That usually just means the connection to the routing server blinked out. Just click 'Stop Room' and 'Create New Room' again and it should pop right back up.
Yes! You can invite multiple friends. The host just shares the connection code, and all your friends can enter it in their apps to join the same world simultaneously.
