Security & Privacy

This mod turns minecraft in a small web server on your computer that's only accessible locally (localhost) on your network. This means that you can access it on a different device on your network, but not from outside the internet. No data is sent over the internet beyond your normal Minecraft traffic.

Important: This mod is designed for local use only. Do not expose the web chat port to the internet. If you need remote access, setup a VPN to your home network instead.
