Open to Lan uses one port

It would be really nice if the Open to LAN button would only use one port (25565 for example) so we can forward it and our friends can join our worlds. It always chooses a random port which makes this very hard. Seeing this come to the game would be a very welcoming change!

    I honestly think being able to choose the port would be better than having it be the same one everytime. It could cause some issues like if you port forwarded 25565 for a different server on your network.

    if you cheats are enabled you can use the

    /publish [<port>]

    command to choose a port
