Ever wondered how to start a multiplayer adventure with your friends in the Java Edition of Minecraft? You’re in the right place!

Creating a multiplayer world in Minecraft Java Edition is exciting and not too complicated. Let’s dive into how you can set this up and start building with friends.

Your Quick Guide to Making a Multiplayer Minecraft World

First up, decide if you want to host the game on your computer or rent a server. Hosting yourself is free but can be a bit techy. Renting a server means paying a fee but it’s easier and often more reliable.

If you’re hosting, you’ll need to open your game to LAN (Local Area Network). Simply press ‘Esc’ during the game, click on ‘Open to LAN’, choose your game settings, and click ‘Start LAN World’. Tell your friends your IP address so they can join you. Remember, this only works if they’re on the same network.
