Here is a project I wrote that is multiplayer with only one computer:

You can't (as far as I know) send messages to multiple computers without a mod.  For having two or more people interact on the same computer, each one needs a different control interface (for example, up/left/right/down for one player, and WASD for the other).

Actually, Mesh (what some Scratch Modifications use to communicate with other computers), is available by gaining access to the source code of Scratch and changing some code. It's actually quite simple, see Mesh on the Scratch Wiki.

Note that it only works over a LAN (Local Area Network), which means that you can connect to computers within the same building (that's usually, but not always, what constitutes a LAN). However you can create a LAN over two computers using certain programs, such as Hamachi, which is free.

I think that counts as a mod, since you're modifying Scratch.

Yeah, I would count that as a mod.

I suppose, I just assumed Lar-Rew was referring to a mod as in a modified version of Scratch, made into a separate version and called something else, like BYOB and Panther and stuff...
