Last updated
Ever wondered how you could team up with your buddy in Minecraft? You’re not alone! The question of how to add a friend on Minecraft is a common one among players looking to share the adventure.
Let’s break down this question into something super simple: How do you get your friend into your Minecraft world so you can play together?
Quick Steps to Add a Friend in Minecraft
Adding a friend in Minecraft depends largely on what version of Minecraft you’re playing and what device you’re using. But don’t worry, we’ll make it easy to understand.
First things first, if you’re playing on a console or PC, you’ll need to add your friend through the platform’s friend system—like Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, or through your Microsoft account on PC. Once you’ve added them as a friend there, you can invite them to your Minecraft world from within the game’s menu.
Let’s Make Those Minecraft Connections
For those on mobile devices or tablets, the process involves a bit more. You’ll need to be friends through the game itself. Make sure you and your friend are both logged into your Microsoft accounts. Then, open Minecraft, go to the ‘Friends’ tab, and you should see an option to ‘Add Friend’ where you can enter their Microsoft username. After they accept your invite, you’ll be able to join each other’s worlds whenever you’re both online.
Remember, the specific steps can vary slightly depending on the version of Minecraft you’re playing, so it’s a good idea to check Minecraft’s official support site if you get stuck.
