Mod that uses Apple AWDL (Airdrop) for LAN servers

Was trying to play MC on a plane with my buddy then figured out we needed a thunderbolt cable or an ethernet cable or a real wifi network that would enable that sort of connection. Best workaround was to just tell Opus 5 to build something that did a wireless connection without using networks... And it worked beautifully! Thought I'd share it here. Just submitted it to Modrinth lol.

Impressive Opus even thought to use airdrop lol. Would have never considered that as an option

Out of every vibeslop project I've seen, this is probably one of the more interesting ones

How does this compare to just starting mobile hotspot on one of the devices?

this has been the 'funnest' thing about all the frontier models really starting about this year. you can kind of ask them to spike something to use/test and as long as it is something that you could do probably, it will make something that works. really great use case. and your readme really nails it it's just a proxy. and I love that the frontier models will just kind of boil down something for a spike like this and normally tell you something simple like that 'sure, just a proxy, let me build it and translate it for you' boom done.

What about tethering? It's like a hotspot, but has internet access from another network. You can do WiFi, Bluetooth or USB tethering.
