Partial A Steam-based LAN mod for Minecraft is achievable with AI help, but it needs Java modding internals and Steamworks networking integration that are harder than a typical app.
What it would actually take: Build a Java mod (Fabric or Forge/NeoForge) that intercepts LAN broadcast and connection logic and tunnels traffic through Steam's networking API (Steamworks SDK, P2P sockets via Steam Networking Sockets), using the Steam relay instead of a VPN. The hard parts are correctly wiring the Steamworks native bindings, handling NAT traversal and version compatibility across Minecraft updates, and debugging network-level issues, which benefit from networking and modding experience.
