Last updated
Ever wondered how you can join your friends in building and exploring together in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Many gamers are curious about how to dive into multiplayer in Minecraft Java.
Let’s break down how to get started with multiplayer in Minecraft Java, so you can start crafting and adventuring with others in no time!
Getting Started with Multiplayer Minecraft Java
First things first: to play multiplayer in Minecraft Java, you’ll need to either join a server or host one. Servers are like big playgrounds where players from around the world come together.
To join a server, you just need the server’s address. You can find these online or get them from friends. Once you have it, open Minecraft, click on ‘Multiplayer,’ then ‘Add Server,’ and enter the address. Bam – you’re in!
Hosting Your Own Minecraft Java Server
Feeling adventurous? You can host your own server! It’s a bit more work but super rewarding. Download the server file from Minecraft’s official site, adjust the server settings to your liking, and launch it. Don’t forget to share your server’s address with your friends so they can join in.
Keep in mind, hosting a server might require a bit of technical know-how, especially if you’re setting it up for the first time. But don’t worry, there are plenty of guides online to help you through the process.
