Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer in Minecraft Java 1.20

A lot of modern games (including Minecraft Bedrock) use Peer-to-Peer multiplayer to bypass port forwarding and not require a dedicated server. Implementing a similar feature in Minecraft Java would not only be perfect for parity, it would be a lot more convenient, especially for newer players, to get to experience Minecraft with friends. This would be a lot easier to implement now that Microsoft accounts are used for Minecraft Java.

    This would make it so much easier to set up servers.

    Bedrock dosent use P2P multiplayer it just basicly uses the open to lan button and adds upnp based on what i understand (its not p2p as it still uses the entrailsed server architecture)
