Enable Offline Mode for Your LAN Server
Access the LAN Menu
Open your single-player world and press Esc to open the pause menu. Select Open to LAN.
Toggle Offline Mode
You'll see the OfflineLAN toggle option in this menu. By default, it's set to ON, which means online-mode remains enabled. To activate offline mode:
1. Click the toggle to switch it to OFF
2. Confirm your LAN server settings
3. Click Start LAN World
What This Does
With the toggle set to OFF, your integrated server will run in offline mode. This means:
- Players can join without valid Minecraft accounts
- Player authentication is disabled
- Anyone on your local network can connect using any username
- Useful for testing, playing with cracked clients, or LAN parties where not everyone has a premium account
Rejoin Your World
Once your LAN world is active, other players on your network can find and join it through the multiplayer menu. The server will remain offline-mode as long as the toggle stays OFF.
