How to Join a LAN Server in Minecraft: A Quick Guide

Ever wondered how you can join a friend’s game in Minecraft? Well, you’re in luck because we’re diving into the world of LAN servers today!

Joining a LAN server in Minecraft lets you play together with your friends in the same room, creating unforgettable adventures. But how do you do it? Let’s find out.

Joining a LAN Server in Minecraft: The Easy Steps

First things first, make sure you and your friend are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. That’s the magic behind LAN (Local Area Network) play – being on the same network.

Next, the person hosting the game needs to open their world to LAN. They can do this by hitting the ‘Esc’ key, selecting ‘Open to LAN’, then choosing the game settings they prefer. Minecraft will then display a message with the LAN world’s port number – make sure to remember it!

Step-by-Step Guide for Players Joining the Game

Now, for those joining the game, it’s pretty simple. Once the host has their game open to LAN, you’ll go to the Multiplayer menu in Minecraft. Here, the game should automatically detect the LAN game. It’s usually named after the host’s Minecraft username and will show up under the “Joinable Friends” section.

If, for some reason, the game doesn’t show up automatically, don’t worry! Just select ‘Direct Connect’, type in the host device’s IP address followed by a colon and the port number shared by your friend. For example, it might look something like ‘192.168.1.1:12345’.
