English
e4steam lets you play with friends in your singleplayer Minecraft worlds through Steam — without a dedicated server or router configuration.
Open your world to the network, choose Steam Friends or Invite Only access, and send an invitation through the Steam overlay. Friends can also join through Minecraft's Direct Connection menu using a short s-...steam address.
Features
- play together in a regular singleplayer world;
- invite friends through the Steam overlay with Shift + Tab;
- separate Steam Friends and Invite Only access modes;
- short addresses for direct connections;
- colored chat buttons for copying the address, inviting friends, and closing the connection;
- confirmation before closing an active connection;
- automatic shutdown when the host leaves the world;
- reopen a connection with
/e4steam start; - support for multiple languages.
How to play
- Start Steam and sign in to your account.
- Enter a singleplayer Minecraft world.
- Open the pause menu and select Open to LAN.
- Choose Steam Friends or Invite Only.
- Invite a friend using the blue chat button or the Steam overlay.
A friend can also copy the provided s-...steam address, open Multiplayer → Direct Connection, and paste it into the server address field.
The host and every joining player need Steam and e4steam running. Their Minecraft version, mod loader, and e4steam version must match.
Commands
/e4steam start— open the connection again;/e4steam invite— open the friend invitation interface;/e4steam restart— restart the connection;/e4steam doctor— check whether Steam and the mod are ready.
