# World Host

## What is World Host?

Checkout the mod used: <https://modrinth.com/mod/world-host>

This mod allows you to share your world to friends!

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING:** By inviting players to your world, they will be able to see your IP! If you don't want that, create servers...
{% endhint %}

## How to use?

To play with other people, you can share to friends or share through an IP address. Here is a quick guide for both versions.

### Global steps

For both systems, you need to follow these steps:

1. Join a world
2. Press "Escape" and click on the "Open to Friends" button

3. Select gamemode and click again on "Open to Friends"
4. Follow the next steps depending on what you want to do!

### Using the Friends system

All your friends can join your world if activated in the options (Main menu -> Bottom right) (it's enabled by default).\
To add friends, go to the multiplayer menu, go to the "Friends" tab (Top) and find a button called "friends" (bottom left) and then you add "Add Friend".

{% hint style="info" %}
The player you asked as friend needs to do the same procedure and put your username to add you as friend.
{% endhint %}

Your friends can now join your world in the Multiplayer menu in the "Friends" tab!

### Using the IP address

Use the command `/worldhost ip` to get an ip that allows players to join your game.

{% hint style="info" %}
The IP is reset when you leave your world.
{% endhint %}

Everyone with this IP can now join your world!
