Last updated
Ever wondered how you can hop into a Minecraft adventure with your pals on PC? Let’s break it down!
Today, we’re diving into the fun world of playing Minecraft with friends. How do you join a friend’s game on PC? We’ve got the answers you’re looking for!
Joining Through Minecraft Servers
One of the easiest ways to play with friends in Minecraft PC is by joining a server. Your friend can either host a server or you can join an existing one. If they’re hosting, they’ll need to give you the server’s IP address.
Once you have the IP address, open Minecraft, click on ‘Multiplayer’, then ‘Add Server’. Enter the IP address and name the server. Hit ‘Done’, and you’re all set to join your friend’s game by selecting the server and clicking ‘Join Server’.
Connecting Via LAN
If you’re in the same local network, joining a friend’s game is even simpler. Your friend should open their world to LAN from the pause menu. Minecraft will then show a game code.
You’ll need to select ‘Multiplayer’ from the main menu and wait for the game to detect the LAN game. Once it appears, click on it, and you’re in! No need for server IP addresses or additional setups.
