About this project

What does ProximaTunnel add?

ProximaTunnel

Play with your friends on your local Minecraft server without opening ports or installing any extra programs!

✨ Features

  • ✅ Simple installation – just drop the plugin into your plugins folder
  • ✅ No need for port forwarding
  • ✅ No third-party software required
  • ✅ Works out-of-the-box
  • ✅ Supports Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21

⚙️ How it works

  • You can place the plugin file into the plugins folder on your server. In this case, it will work as a plugin and automatically add the server to your list when launched.
  • Alternatively, you can place the same file into the mods folder on your client. In this mode, it will work as a mod. To allow your friends to join, you need to open your single-player world to LAN.
  • Your friends can connect to proximamp.com using the Minecraft version supported by your server (or ViaVersion if installed).
  • Once connected, open the menu.
  • In the bottom-right corner, select “Локальные сервера” (command block icon).
  • Choose your friend’s server from the list and join instantly.

Why use ProximaTunnel?

Hosting a server for friends is often tricky: opening ports, configuring routers, or downloading additional tools.
With ProximaTunnel, you just start your server, and your friends can join immediately.

Installation Guide

Setting up your local server

  • Download a local Minecraft server (use a plugin-supported server core, e.g. Paper).
  • Start the server once.
  • Open the file eula.txt and set eula=true.
  • Place the plugin .jar file into the plugins folder.
  • Start the server again and let it load completely, then shut it down.
  • Open the server.properties file:
  • Set online-mode=false.
  • Change the motd value to your own text (this will be displayed in the server list menu).
  • Open the plugin configuration at plugins/ProximaMP/config.yml.
  • If you want to change the menu icon shown for your server, replace GRASS_BLOCK with another Minecraft item.
  • Start the server again – your setup is complete!

Connecting with friends

  • Your friends join the hub server at proximamp.com using the version supported by your local server (or ViaVersion if installed).
  • Open the menu.
  • In the bottom-right corner, select “Локальные сервера” (command block icon).
  • Find your server in the list and click on it to join instantly.
