🔧 Requirements

💡 Notes

  • Never share your real IP address with people you don’t trust.
    To let others connect to your hosted relay, you have to give them your public IP.
  • If your router doesn’t support UPnP, you may need to manually port forward your hosting port so others can connect.
  • Want to avoid exposing your real IP or can’t use UPnP/port forwarding?
    You can use a virtual LAN (VLAN) service like ZeroTier or Hamachi. These tools create a private virtual network between all players.
    Everyone must join the same virtual network for the relay to work, and players will see only the virtual IP, not your real one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Player Relay server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.10). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Player Relay compatible with fabric?

Player Relay officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.10, 1.21.9, 1.21.8. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Player Relay – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Player Relay consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
