If done, people over the internet can connect to your game using your router's IP (which can be found by googling "what is my ip?") in place of your local computer's IP. Players over the internet can connect to a LAN game if one forwards the game's port on the host's router. Note: Using one Minecraft account on two or more computers will not work to join the same world. When the local IP and port are found, type them into the "Server Address" field (under either Direct Connect or in the Add Server dialogue), formatted like IP:port (e.g. The local IP should be formatted like 192.168.1.1 or similar, and have 192.168 as the first 2 numbers. The local IP of the host computer can be found in Windows 10 by opening the command line (press Start, type "cmd" then hit enter), typing the command "ipconfig" and pressing enter, and finding the IPv4. The game's port can be found in the chat message sent in the host world after it was opened to LAN. One will need to find the game's port, and the local IP of the computer the host's Minecraft game is running on. If the game doesn't show in the list, it might still be possible to join. If joining from the same local network, the game should appear in the multiplayer games list in the Multiplayer menu. Other clients then listen for this multicast to show your game in their multiplayer menu. On the technical side, a Minecraft client with an opened LAN game sends a UDP multicast to the local address 224.0.2.60:4445 every 1.5 seconds. This port may need to be provided to joining players to help them connect. It is not possible to change game options with this command. Īfter a world has been opened to LAN, a confirmation message will be sent in the chat, for example: It is also possible to start a LAN world by the command line with / publish. ![]() Optionally change the default game mode and/or whether players may use cheats.To open an active single player world to LAN: Players over the internet cannot connect unless other workarounds (such as port forwarding or Hamachi) are set up. just the people connected to your router/switch) to join a Minecraft world. Here a (very pretty) Picture to make it a little more clear.A local area network (LAN) game is a type of multiplayer game that allows other people in your local network (i.e. Local friends: just plug in the switch, - start game and search for LAN games. Remote Friend: Installs hamachi, - connects to my hosted hamachi VPN, - starts game and searches for LAN games. On My Pc: I install (for example) hamachi, - start hamachi and host a VPN with it, - wait for my Remote friend to connect to the hamachi VPN, - Start a game and Host in LAN modus. Switch: Connected to like Local 5 friends, - and to my Pc, - as well as the router(internet). Since he isn't very advanced when it comes to computers, it would be great if the solution would be as easy as using a program. I suspect it should be possible using some kind of VPN or possibly VLAN or something. ![]() So not only connecting 2 people but one local network to another person who basically joins the existing network. Now my issue is, how could he join us and play together with us, like being in the room but playing in the LAN Multiplayer of old games, not online. ![]() I would like to make a LAN party with some friends but unfortunately someone moved a few hundred kilometers away.
