Peerless

Peerless — Play with Friends Instantly

No port forwarding. No VPN apps (Hamachi / Radmin). No rented servers.
Open your singleplayer world to friends in seconds using a simple 8-character room code!

Features

• Instant 2-Click Hosting: Open any singleplayer world, click Create Room, and share your code.
• Brand New Tactile UI (Peerless Reborn): Completely redesigned dark-amber interface with smooth animations, glowing status indicators, and responsive controls.
• Works on Any Internet Connection: Direct peer-to-peer connection by default. If your router, dorm Wi-Fi, or mobile provider blocks direct connections (Strict/Symmetric NAT), Peerless automatically switches to high-speed dedicated cloud relays in under 4 seconds!
• Simple Voice Chat Tunneling: Proximity voice chat works out of the box! Zero port forwarding or extra setup needed for Simple Voice Chat.
• Cross-Loader Play: Friends on Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge can all play together in the same world on the same Minecraft version.
• Private & Anonymous: Connections are end-to-end encrypted. Room codes expire automatically, and zero personal data, IPs, or world contents are ever tracked or stored.
• Universal Multiplatform Support: Pre-bundled high-performance native binaries for Windows, Linux, and macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all my friends need to install Peerless?
Yes! Everyone who wants to host or join needs Peerless installed, along with any content/block/item mods the host is using.

Does it work through strict Wi-Fi, CGNAT, or mobile hotspots?

Can I include Peerless in my modpack?
Absolutely! You are free to include Peerless in any CurseForge, Modrinth, or custom modpack.

Does Offline / Cracked mode work?
Yes! The host can choose between Online (verifies Microsoft accounts) and Offline + UUID Fixer (allows offline accounts while safely keeping player inventories, permissions, and advancements mapped to their real profiles).
