Sometimes there are times when playing alone is annoying. I want to share my achievements, the joy of any discovery with friends or just an understanding person. That's when network game modes come to the rescue, and Minecraft is no exception. Let's figure out together how to play together in Minecraft.
Ways
There are two methods by which you could play with other people.
- The local network.
- The Internet.
In essence, they are very similar and do not differ in many respects, but each has its own nuances that must be remembered. For example, you can long and hard create your own map, and then make it available for local game. Do not forget to make a copy, otherwise it will be very disappointing when other players destroy what you painstakingly created.
In any case, you will need some things without which it will not be possible to play with other people. This is the Internet, a Minecraft client, direct hands. It is also necessary to remember that you will have to make changes to the computer settings, so be careful, all responsibility for putting the PC into an idle state will fall on your shoulders. Now let's figure out how to play Minecraft with friends.
The local network
Imagine that there are a couple of computers without Internet access, and they are located in one room. Moreover, between them there is a local network configured. In this case, you can play on the network in “Minecraft”. 2 friends must install the same client version on both computers. Now the sequence of actions is quite simple:
- One of the players must create a single player game with the desired settings.
- After that, he needs to press ESC and open the game for multiplayer.
- A message will appear in the chat about the server starting with a specific IP address. This is what you need to remember.
- The client also starts on the second computer. Only the other player is already in multiplayer mode. If the game does not automatically find the server, then you need to add it by writing in the IP search bar, which you remembered a little earlier.
Thus, the question is solved, how to play together in Minecraft on a local network.
Imaginary network
If your computers are separated by a huge distance and are connected exclusively by the Internet, you can also play a couple. There are different ways to play together in Minecraft over the Internet, so first we will consider an option that does not require enhanced computer settings.
To do this, you will need to download and install a utility such as Hamachi. Both friends must install it and register, after which one of them creates a server room in the program, to which his friend should connect. Using this method, a virtual private network is created - an analogue of a home local network only organized via the Internet. The pessimistic user probably already realized that the next steps are similar to the previous paragraph. There is only one but. If your computers do not see each other, add Hamachi to the firewall and antivirus exceptions.
the Internet
How to play together in Minecraft, if you do not want to be smart again? Theoretically, if you download the same version of a client from one site and perform all the same manipulations as in the first case, you can connect to a friend. On the other hand, you can use the Minecraft home server . Download it on any site specializing in this game, install and run. After that, you just have to send your address to the people with whom you would like to play together. There is nothing complicated about it. So good luck in mastering the cubic world and trying with a network game. And most importantly, if something does not work out, do not lose heart and try again and again, then you will certainly succeed.
