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

⚙️ 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).

- 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!
