using a Server that is purchased from Mojang themselves you can go to buy around here click this button it’ll take you to your browser and you can purchase one I wouldn’t recommend doing this I would recommend buying something from Apex Minecraft hosting or another server host if you don’t like Apex for whatever Reason because you can do so much more with those servers on those servers you can have plugins you can add mods things like that that you can’t do to Realms whereas with Apex it’s truly up to you and you can do anything you want the same goes for hosting a free server on Your own computer you can do that as well and guess what you can have plugins and have full control over it that is not the case with Realms I like to mention it but there are better ways to start a Minecraft

The goal of this video is that no matter what, you will be able to play Minecraft with your friends. Whether you want to just join a public server, start a server of your own to have full control, or just invite your friends to your existing singleplayer worlds, the options are endless.
First things first, the easiest way to play with friends on Minecraft Java Edition is by joining a public server. This is super simple and requires no downloads or anything. All you need is the IP address of the public Minecraft server that you want to join.
Then, go into your multiplayer menu in Minecraft Java Edition, add a server, and enter the IP address for the Name and the IP address boxes. When you save it, you will see the server and be able to double-click to join it. Your friends can also do this, and you will be able to play multiplayer in Minecraft Java Edition together on the server you choose. We have a list of survival Minecraft servers in the description above.
After public servers, you can create your own Minecraft server. There are two ways to this – on your own PC or by purchasing a server.
By creating a server on your own PC, you will be able to start a Minecraft server for free. You will have full control over the server. However, it is not meant to be public. You should only invite your friends, family, people that you trust. It is also using your own computer and internet meaning you need a good computer and internet to host a server for free.
You can also purchase a Minecraft server through a server hosting company. This does cost some money, but it will give you a much better server hosting experience overall. You still maintain complete control over the server. The server can be public or private. The choice up to you, and the hardware and internet connection you have doesn’t matter as this all handled by the hosting company.
Truthfully, the best way to play Minecraft multiplayer with your friends on PC is by hosting your own server. You can add mods, plugins, and anything you want to your server giving you unlimited options.
Realms are another way to play Minecraft Java Edition with your friends. I would recommend against this and instead purchase a server through a host as that will give you much more control over the server.
Next up is LAN. Via LAN, you can allow anyone who is on the same wifi/internet connection as you to join your singleplayer worlds. This isn’t a permanent solution for most people, but it can be a great way to show off a singleplayer world.
Lastly, there is the Essential Mod. With this mod, you and your friend download it and add each other’s usernames. Then, you can invite them to your world in single player. This is a great way to play with friends in Minecraft Java Edition in a similar manor to Bedrock Edition. However, you are limited to the mods and plugins you can use as well as the number of friends who can join at one time.
And there you have it! That is our complete guide on how to play with friends on Minecraft Java Edition. If you have any questions about how to play Minecraft with friends on PC, let us know in the comments. We will try our best to help you out.
