SharedWorld
Play Minecraft together, like on a server. Without the server.
SharedWorld keeps your world in sync through Google Drive and connects everyone through e4mc. Whoever is online hosts. When they log off, someone else takes over and the world keeps going.
Free and open source. Fabric, Minecraft 1.20.1 and newer.
The world follows the group, not one computer
Normally a Minecraft world lives on one person's PC, and if they are not around nobody plays. SharedWorld fixes that.
Create a shared world
Make a world from the Shared Worlds screen, or link one you already have, and invite your friends by their Minecraft name.
First one online hosts
Whoever opens the world first becomes the host. Everyone else joins them through e4mc, with no port forwarding and no setup.
Host leaves? Keep playing
The world syncs to Google Drive as you play. When the host logs off, another player picks it up and everyone reconnects on their own.
Built to be trusted with your world
Your Drive stays yours
The mod only gets a private app data folder in your Google Drive. It cannot see or touch your files, documents, or photos.
Minimal data, encrypted
The backend stores only what it needs to run, and encrypts your email and Drive tokens at rest. No request or IP logs. Details in the privacy policy.
Open source
The mod and the backend are on GitHub, so you can read exactly what runs on your computer and where your world goes.
Leave whenever you want
The in-game Account screen can disconnect your Google account or delete every trace of SharedWorld: worlds, backups, Drive data, and local files, in one go.
