To host HKMP to computers that are in the same house and router as your computer, follow the steps below.

Starting the server

To host, pause the game, insert your username and a valid port in the server details (use 26950 if unsure) and click “Start Hosting”. Some things to note:

• You don't have to type your own IP to join the server, the mod will automatically connect you to your own server using IP "127.0.0.1", which points to yourself. Don’t give this IP to other users, they should be using a different IP given by this guide in the other sections
• To change server settings such as whether PVP is enabled, learn more about chat commands
• If you're interested in leaving your server running while your game is closed, learn to use the standalone server instead of hosting inside the game

Joining the server on a different PC

Anyone who wants to join your server should pause the game, insert your local IP and the port you chose, then click "Connect".

To get the “local IP”, follow the instructions below on the PC of whoever is hosting the server (click the arrow to expand).

Windows

Linux

macOS
