LAN Properties

LAN Properties enhances the vanilla “Open to LAN” interface to provide full control over all server settings, just like in server.properties on a dedicated server.

What is LAN Properties?

LAN Properties is a mod that gives you access to all server.properties settings when opening your world to LAN, just like on a dedicated server.

How do I use it?

Simply install the mod and click “Open to LAN” as normal. There will be a configuration button that lets you customize all server settings.

Hybrid Mode

LAN Properties introduces an additional property called hybrid-mode.

When online-mode is disabled but hybrid-mode is enabled, the server attempts to authenticate players in a “best of both worlds” approach:

• If an account with the player’s username exists → The server fetches the official UUID from Mojang’s session servers.
• If the session servers are unreachable or the username does not belong to a valid account → The server falls back to using an offline UUID.

This ensures that premium (online) players always keep their correct UUID, while still allowing offline players to join when needed.
