Hello all, I work a seasonal job in a national park and am looking to make a Minecraft server for myself and my coworkers. Everyone is on the same barely functional wifi network, so I figured I should self host it on my laptop rather than use a hosting provider to avoid crazy latency and slow network speeds; joining outside online servers has proven to be an exercise in futility. I have also considered LAN as a possibility since everyone is on the same network but I will talk more on that later. I have been self hosting servers for several years but the internet constraints have been making me hit a brick wall and every new 3MB plugin I try out takes an hour to download so I would really appreciate some help.
Heres what requirements I’m trying to accomplish here:
What I’ve tried/obstacles I’m hitting
Points 4 and 5 in particular are annoying me bc they’re both things I know were possible a few years ago and now are not. Thank you Microsoft
Does anyone have suggestions of plugins or alternate approaches I could take to work around these problems? At this point I am flexible on basically every detail of this server if it gets me something that works. Thank you so much for reading!
(EDIT: I want to note that I and everyone involved do have legally purchased Minecraft accounts, and trying to use offline mode is solely due to network timeouts trying to reach the auth servers. We also are all on the same WiFi network and are not looking to have players outside of that network join)

Heres what requirements I’m trying to accomplish here:
What I’ve tried/obstacles I’m hitting
- Started a Purpur server with geyser/floodgate and ViaVersion/ViaBackwards. It’s on and running on my laptop and I’m able to join using localhost or my local ip on Java and bedrock respectively. The server appears online on my phone using the local ip/port but times out every time I try to join, usually due to not authenticating the account.
- Made sure online-server was false in the server config file and made sure geyser/floodgate was configured to not require players being signed in to a Microsoft account. Same problem as before.
- Looked into bedrock LAN worlds and found that these have also changed from several years ago and now require that the network you’re connected to has no outside connection at all.
