How Do You Play Minecraft LAN? A Quick Guide

Ever wondered how you can share the endless fun of Minecraft with your friends right in the same room? Let’s dive into how you can play Minecraft using LAN (Local Area Network).

Playing Minecraft LAN means you and your friends can explore, build, and adventure together in the same Minecraft world without having to be miles apart. It’s all about connecting locally and sharing the Minecraft love.

Quick Steps to Start Playing Minecraft LAN

Getting your Minecraft game ready for LAN play is simpler than building your first shelter. First, ensure that all players are connected to the same local network. This means everyone should be on the same Wi-Fi or connected via ethernet.

Next, launch your Minecraft game and select a world to load. Once in the game, press the Esc key to bring up the menu, then click “Open to LAN.” Here, you can choose the game mode and other options. Finally, click “Start LAN World.” Your game will then show a message with the local game port number. Tell this number to your friends, and they can join your game by selecting “Multiplayer” from the main menu and waiting for your game to appear under “Local Game Servers.”
