[Feature Request] Local Play

[Starystars67]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be a nice to have feature to be able to host local servers from the game. (This would be similar to how it is when you load up games like Minecraft).

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have an option in game to be able to click "Play Locally" or something similar from the menu's. This then starts a server and requests to allow it in the firewall for local use. This would be good for friends playing at a home or for siblings. This makes it easier for them to play together without the impact of the public server list.

Describe alternatives you've considered
End users can download the server and then set it all up but this can be overwhelming for some. A way for it to be wrapped up neatly into a play local would be nice.

Additional context
This is just an idea as a possible idea. Not a priority item.

This is easily possible by just entering the local IPv4 of the device that is hosting the server in the Direct connect tab.

No, this is about a different problem:

host local servers from the game

Local-only play is more or less akin to offline mode (discussed before) with a local server that the launcher spins up :)
