How do you join a LAN world in Minecraft?

Ever wondered ‘how do you join a LAN world in Minecraft’? You’re not alone! With Minecraft’s immense popularity, players everywhere look for ways to connect and share their gaming experiences.

Joining a LAN (Local Area Network) world in Minecraft lets you play together with friends or family in the same local network. The process is straightforward but can seem a bit tricky if you’re new to it. Let’s dive into how you can dive into a shared pixel adventure without breaking a sweat.

Steps to Join a LAN World in Minecraft

To join a LAN world, first, make sure that you and the person hosting the LAN world are on the same local network. This usually means being connected to the same WiFi or wired network.

Next, the host needs to open their world to LAN from within the game. They can do this by pausing the game, clicking on ‘Open to LAN’, and then choosing the game settings. After clicking ‘Start LAN World’, Minecraft will display a message with the host’s local IP address and the port number. The host should share this info with you.

How to Find and Connect to the Host’s World

Once the host has shared their local IP address and port number, open Minecraft and go to the ‘Multiplayer’ menu. Here, the game will automatically search for LAN games. If the host’s game doesn’t pop up automatically, you’ll need to select ‘Add Server’ and enter the IP address and port number manually.

After adding the server, it should appear in your list of multiplayer games. Simply select it and hit ‘Join Server’ to start playing together! Remember, if you encounter any issues, double-check that both of you are connected to the same local network and that you’ve entered the correct IP address and port number.
