Host and join Minecraft servers without port forwarding — share a static connection ID instead of an IP, and Conduit tunnels the game peer-to-peer over the iroh network.
Important Conduit needs to be installed on the server and on all clients that want to connect.
- To host, open a world to LAN or start a dedicated server as usual. Conduit prints your connect ID to chat (click to copy) or to the server console.
- To join, paste a connect ID into the multiplayer Direct Connect or Add Server field where you would normally type an IP.
Normal IP addresses keep working exactly as before
Shows your own node ID, the ID you are hosting under, and every active connection: how it is routed (Direct, Mixed, Relayed or Connecting), round-trip time, bytes transferred, and each individual network path with the one currently carrying data marked. Connect IDs are click-to-copy.
Use it to check whether you actually got a direct connection or are going through a relay.
Server-side Run without arguments to print every setting plus your connect ID.
| Subcommand | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
enabled <true|false> |
Take part in iroh networking at all. | |
hostAutomatically <true|false> |

relayUrls [urls…] |
Relay servers, space or comma separated. Omit the argument to restore the defaults. | |

resetIdentityis irreversible. It permanently invalidates your current connect ID — anyone who saved it will need the new one. Theconfirmword is required for exactly that reason.
Settings can also be edited from a screen in-game: Options → Conduit. By default Conduit uses n0's public relay servers, listed explicitly in the config so you can see and replace them:
