**Highlights:**
\n– **Performance first:** modern Fabric optimizations for both client and server.
\n– **Vanilla parity:** bugfixes and QoL that do not alter core mechanics.
\n– **One\u2011click server creation:** open your singleplayer world to friends with one click using **e4mc** \u2014 it makes your LAN world public so friends can join easily. It also supports **offline mode**: disable online mode when opening to LAN if you need to play without online authentication.
