Configuring LAN Port, Player Limits, and MOTD

EasyLAN replaces the standard hosting process with a dedicated configuration screen, letting you tailor network values before opening your local world.

Setting Network Values

1. Load your single-player world and open the pause menu.

2. Select the option to host a LAN server to open the EasyLAN configuration screen.

3. Locate the Custom Port field. Enter any port number between 100 and 65535 (useful if you are directing router traffic to a specific port).

4. Locate the Custom Max Player setting. Enter your desired player limit anywhere from 2 up to 500000 players.

Customizing the Server MOTD

1. Find the Custom Motd text entry on the screen.

2. Type your server message of the day. The mod allows an MOTD of up to a 100 word count.

3. Verify your port, player cap, and MOTD entries, then confirm to launch the LAN game across your local network.

Players connected to your common router or switch will now see your custom message and can connect using the specified port.
