Ever wondered how you can team up with your buddies in Minecraft Java Edition? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can join forces and create masterpieces or go on adventures together in Minecraft Java.

So, how exactly do you play with friends on Minecraft Java? It’s simpler than you might think, and we’re here to guide you through it.

Setting Up a Multiplayer Game

First things first, to play with friends in Minecraft Java, one of you needs to set up a game. You can either create a server or join an existing one. Creating your own server might sound daunting, but it’s doable with a bit of patience and following Minecraft’s guidelines.

If setting up a server seems like a mountain of a task, worry not! You can also join public servers or use services like Minecraft Realms, which is Minecraft’s own subscription-based private server hosting service. This way, you and your friends can play in a secure, private space without the hassle of server setup.

Connecting to Your Friends’ World

Once the server or Realm is up and running, connecting to it is a breeze. All you need is the server’s address or the invitation to the Realm. Enter this information in Minecraft’s Multiplayer section, and voila, you’re ready to embark on adventures with your friends!

Remember, communication is key. Make sure you’re all set with a game plan, perhaps even a Discord channel, so you can strategize and chat while building your blocky empire.
