“Multiplayer mod will never work on mobile devices” But can we do it another way?

234k jamesPLANESii  5.5 years ago

Ok, so obviously the way the MP mod is right now, where you connect to an IP address and interact with several other players over the internet, that will not work. I think we can all agree that 80% of mobile devices could not run that many planes on that high part count.

But... there is another method of MP that’s perfect for mobile devices...

LAN multiplayer

This would be good because you could play SP with your friends and family, and if they bring on a 9000000 part plane, you can just go over to them, punch them in the face and Chuck their device in the bin! And, you don’t need to any IP addresses or even need wifi to connect!


Disclaimer: I’m not saying that the SPMP mod should be redesigned or be made available for mobile, I’m suggesting that someone else could make a new mobile SPMP mod. Also, this is only an idea, not something I’m inflicting upon others that they must do or they die. Also I have very little modding and coding knowledge so if this is very dumb I’m sorry lol.


What do you think? Does this seem plausible from a more professional standpoint?

    Hi, could you send me a copy of the multiplayer mod you made? I was gonna try make it compatible with mobile but I can't do this without the original file. I'll tell u my email when you reply so no-one uses it for spam.

    The devs keep talking about the fact that they don’t want to add a feature (ie, Multiplayer) that would never work completely bugless. But I don’t know why they just add a notice that it’s an experimental feature and may not work smoothly on your device... I mean, multiplayer would be a game changer if they added it... @CRJ900Pilot

    Would it be possible to have it be an app or update to the game? iOS doesn’t allow mods rip

    Punch them in the face and throw their phone in the bin then :). This is why it will work on LAN. You can meet the idiot in real life and tel, them off rather than just start complaining over the chat. @PhantomBladeCorp

    Yeah I agree. Let us just hope that day would come even though it may not seem possible.

    Your phone would burn your hand and in the process create a second Sun, thus making our solar system a binary one.
    Except this Sun has an unpredictable lifespan, usually in the minutes until you punch that mothafricka who brought a 92047293 part plane and close the server.

    @HellFireKoder And what about Host migration server

    LAN stands for Local Area Network, and the way computers connect over any such network is with IP addresses, they will just be LAN IPs instead of global, and that can already be done with the current version of MP.
    This does not inherently improve performance, just you probably won't have as many people connected (and network lag should be far less), however when I tried building for Android, I could not even connect to my local server, it simply didn't function.
    It is most likely possible to fix this somehow, but debugging something like this on Android is a massive pain (PC MP is already much more difficult to debug than my other mods, and Android is always harder to debug) , and only people with some of the latest flagship devices would really be able to run it anyway...

    The only thing of what engine of minecraft is using LWJGL
    (Lightweight Java Game Library) while for simple planes is using Unity Source And Assets
