How to Join a LAN World in Minecraft

Ever wondered ‘how to join a LAN world in Minecraft’? You’re at the right spot to find out! This question pops up quite often among Minecraft enthusiasts who want to dive into the multiplayer aspect of the game.

So, if you’re itching to join your friends in a Minecraft LAN world but aren’t quite sure how, let’s get you through the steps, making it crystal clear and easy to follow.

Quick Steps to Join a LAN World in Minecraft

Joining a LAN world in Minecraft is simpler than it might seem at first. First, make sure you and your friend are connected to the same local network. This is super important because LAN stands for Local Area Network – which means you’ve got to be on the same Wi-Fi or wired network.

Once you’re connected to the same network, have your friend open their world to LAN in their game menu. They’ll select ‘Open to LAN’ and choose the game mode and whether to allow cheats. After they start the LAN server, Minecraft will show a message with a port number – tell them to note it down or remember it!

Enter the Magical Minecraft World Together

Now, it’s your turn. On your Minecraft screen, go to the ‘Multiplayer’ menu. Here, Minecraft will automatically search for games on your local network. If your friend’s world doesn’t pop up automatically, don’t panic! You can select ‘Direct Connect’ and type in the host’s address followed by the port number (like ‘192.168.1.1:12345’). Hit ‘Join Server’, and voila, you’re in!

Remember, both of you need to have the same version of Minecraft installed. Whether it’s the Java Edition or Bedrock Edition, keeping things consistent ensures you can connect without a hitch.
