Would set up the lan make it multiplayer and using his computer here locally on our network he would connect to my ip and port so that is what we’re going to go ahead and kick it off here in this video if you are brand new to the

It off by taking a look at the lan aspect of multiplayer so let’s go ahead and get into the video here we have our minecraft launcher pulled up the number one thing that you have to pay attention to when you are setting up your minecraft multiplayer game is that you

Guys are both running the same versions of minecraft so my son and i both like to try out different mods using the curse platform which we can talk about in an upcoming video but here if we are playing on a you know a demon mod for whatever reason or a dyno craft version

Of minecraft you guys both have to be running the exact same version of that minecraft module in this case we’re gonna be both be running the latest version of minecraft 1.17.1 so we’re going to go ahead and make sure that that is selected next we’re going to go ahead and hit play

Here now it’s going to go through the whole process as it normally would of opening up minecraft multiplayer which is for server related multiplayer but in this case we are wanting to play locally on our local network so in this case we would just go into our single player

Create new world and go ahead and create the new world right there now after a few minutes this world is going to be created we’re going to go ahead and move that over here to the left and as our world is created on command prompt if you guys don’t know how to pop

That up if you go ahead and type in on hit your start key and type in cmd it’s going to pop up the little black window right here this is what’s going to show you your computer’s ip you’re going to go ahead and just type in ipconfig

And type in enter now here it’s going to go ahead and show you what your local ip address is in my case it is 192.168.1.2 so that is the ip that we’re going to be connecting to back in the game here we are loaded into our minecraft world it’s a brand new

Fresh world now in order to have somebody else join your game right now a single player you need to go ahead and hit escape and hit open to land now here you are able to set the different game modes of your game once again so if you want to change

It to be creative adventure but in most cases here we’re just going to go ahead and keep it survival you can set it to allow cheats on or off and then start your lan world now it’s going to go ahead and give you your local game hosted port right there of 50 076

So now that we have our ip and we have our hosted port we’re going to go ahead and now have the other computer load up minecraft so here on the right hand side we have my son’s account who is now logging on to minecraft now on his

Computer he’s going to want to go to multiplayer and then if you are looking for other games on your local network it should appear right here so here we can see 192.168.1.2 and there’s the port 50 076. now i could select this as it is right

Now and i would join and connect into this world so boom here we are let’s go see on the right hand side if i can see my character there i am i can go ahead and whack my character and here we are on the same world playing locally from my

Hosted computer so boom we can both interact with each other we can both see the objects are breaking we are both now in the same world hosted on our computer here locally so if anything outside were to come down we are connected here inside of our network so even if the

Network on the outside fell down you know your internet your local internet provider because this is hosted from an internal you know within your own network uh essentially you guys would be able to play multiplayer regardless of what took place outside of your home as long as

You guys are hosted this way now if the network if that doesn’t appear down there towards the bottom as far as scanning for games on your local network if you are not seeing that appear you’re gonna go ahead and click on direct connection now here within the server address you’re going

To go ahead and ask them to list off their ip which in this case would be 192.168.1.2 now here you’re going to go ahead and put in the colon right there and then right after that you’re going to go ahead and put in the port now they

Have to list the ports here which is 5076 and once you have done that go ahead and hit join and there we are once again we joined back into the world and we are now being able to play locally on our single-player turn multiplayer computer world so i thought this was really

Interesting if you guys have other friends family members who are wanting to play with you but you guys aren’t wanting to play on a server out in the open world here you guys can choose one of your computers to hold host a single player game open it

Up to the network have other players connect your ip to your port and you guys are able to play completely fine without lag because it’s all based within your internal network let me know down in the comment section below if you guys have any questions or comments

Otherwise that is going to be it for this video if you guys are brand new to the channel have not yet subscribed go down below hit the red button to subscribe make it crane hit the bell to be notified every time i release a brand new video and of course give this video
