Joining a Minecraft LAN World: Quick and Easy
First off, let me tell you it’s simpler than it sounds. A LAN (Local Area Network) game is just Minecraft but with friends on the same network. Pretty cool, right?
To get started, one of you needs to open their game to the local network. They’ll pause the game, click on ‘Open to LAN’, then choose the game settings. Hit ‘Start LAN World’, and voilà! They’ll see a message saying the world is open to LAN players. Now, it’s your turn to join. Just go to the Multiplayer section on your Minecraft. If everything’s set up right, you’ll see the LAN game pop up there. Click on it, and you’re in! It’s like magic, but cooler because it’s Minecraft.
