How to Join a LAN World in Minecraft: A Quick Guide

Ever wondered how you can hop into a Minecraft game with your friends on the same network? Let’s break down how to join a LAN world in Minecraft in plain and simple terms!

So, you’re chilling at home, and your buddy fires up a Minecraft world on their computer. They’re building something awesome, and you want in. How do you join their world and get in on the fun? We’ve got you covered.

Quick Steps to Join a LAN World in Minecraft

Joining a LAN (Local Area Network) game in Minecraft is like knocking on your friend’s digital door and being invited in for a blocky adventure. First things first, make sure you and your friend are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Next, your friend needs to open their world to LAN. They can do this by hitting the pause button, selecting ‘Open to LAN’, and then choosing the game settings like survival mode or creative mode. Once they start the LAN game, you’ll see a message pop up in the chat window with the game’s port number. But don’t worry, you usually won’t need it.

On your end, go to the Minecraft game menu, click on ‘Multiplayer’, and wait a moment. Minecraft will automatically search for games open to LAN. Your friend’s game should appear on the list. Click on it and hit ‘Join Server’, and voila! You’re in! Just make sure you’re running the same game version as your friend.
