Ever wondered how you can play Minecraft with your friends on PC? You’re in the right place! We’re diving into the steps to get you started on your multiplayer adventure.

So, how exactly do you play Minecraft PC multiplayer? Let’s break it down into simple steps everyone can follow.

Setting Up Minecraft PC Multiplayer

First things first, you need to decide how you want to connect with your friends. There are two main ways to play multiplayer in Minecraft on PC: through a direct game-to-game multiplayer or by joining a server.

For a direct connection, one player needs to open their world to LAN (Local Area Network). This method is perfect for playing with someone in the same house. But if you’re aiming to play with friends far away, joining a Minecraft server is the way to go. You can either join public servers or create a private one.

Joining a Minecraft Server

To join a Minecraft server, you’ll need the server’s address. You can find tons of great servers online with various themes and games. Once you have the address, open Minecraft, click on ‘Multiplayer’, then ‘Add Server’, and enter the server’s details. Hit ‘Join Server’, and you’re in!

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to set up your own server, Minecraft’s official website provides a detailed guide. But remember, creating a server can be a bit technical and might require some patience.
