Your friends right it needs to only be for people that you trust and on top of that you’re going to need a decent internet connection because this server is going to be ran on your own internet connection and you’re gonna have to worry about things like security because

Anyone who gets the ip of this server can do things like ddos you and find out where you live down to your latitude and longitude coordinates and last but not least you’re gonna need a good computer right you’re gonna need to be able to run minecraft and a minecraft server on

Want to select which package we want right so for two gigabytes that’s gonna be good for like five players just you and a few friends with no mods or plug-ins or if you want to add some mods or plug-ins i’d recommend four gigabytes and that’s what we’re gonna go with here

Once we go into four gigabytes you can still enter your username so we’re gonna do that really fast as well as our server version now minecraft 119 paper right is going to basically be minecraft 1.19 but very very resource friendly as well as you will have the ability to add

Plugins if you run paper you don’t have to but you can also we want to select our location here i’m going to select miami florida because that is closest to me but whatever locations closest to you go with you can also test your ping to that location you can see 38 that’s

Really really good so nevertheless we’ve got that we can go ahead and click continue and now just go through the purchase process once you have purchased your server you’ll land on a page like this and you’re looking for an email an email like this right here and once

You’re here you can see right there is the ip address to your server you want to copy all of this so select it all right click and copy or control c you also have your login information for your cpanel account as well as your billing account i’d recommend logging

Into the panel that’s where you can do things like add plugins and all that but we’re not talking about this in this video it’s how do you play minecraft with your friends well copy this ip address give that ip address to them have them go into minecraft multiplayer

Direct connection they can also add it as a server but paste that ip address as your server’s ip and boom click join you will join right on in to a minecraft server where you get to play minecraft with your friends it is that simple and that easy there we go you’re on a

Minecraft server this is your apex server and to prove that real fast i will log into the panel where if we go into the panel you can see i have joined the apex server this is the apex console dashboard here and here is the server’s dashboard so awesome stuff there that is

How you can get a server with apex super easy super simple to get it set up and a lot easier than starting your own minecraft server on your computer because with apex they take all the hardware they take care of the security they take care of everything you’re already playing with your friends

Right now right you can give your friends the ip and they would be able to join this server nevertheless what if you don’t want to use apex you want to use something else well that’s where multiplayer servers come in and specifically we have a link in the

Description down below to the top five best survival minecraft multiplayer servers the number one one is our minecraft server full disclosure it’s breakdown craft absolutely amazing travel server but there are other amazing survival servers on this list as well as you can see here the seeds survive with us tulip survival they’re

All here and they’re all absolutely incredible how do you join these servers well you find one you want like breakdown craft you copy vip address right like so and you come back here into minecraft once we’re in minecraft here we can leave this server and from the main menu we

Want to go ahead and click on multiplayer now you can add a server you can do this with an apex server as well but let’s go ahead and we’ll do how to play mc with friends as the name of the server and then we’ll paste the address in this

Is going to be play.breakdowncraft.com in this case click done here and there you go you have the server right here you can double click on it now to join in the server your friends will join the server the exact same way as well when you join into breakdown crap by the way

It won’t be this it’ll be uh the lobby here and you’ll be able to select which server you want we have two survival options aquatic and medieval as well as sky block uh i personally love aquatic survival it’s og if you will slash shot-based economy medieval survival is

Also incredible and it is a player-based economy where you have player shops and all of that awesome stuff but nevertheless that is how you can play minecraft with your friends on a public server it is the easiest way probably to start a server the downside being these servers do get reset occasionally things

Like that breakdown crafts actually never had a major survival server reset but a lot of times that can occur on minecraft servers you don’t control the server whereas with apex and with starting a server yourself you do control the server and i personally would prefer that so nonetheless that’s

Why that is there however what if you want to join realms realms is a big thing right here it is a big button personally there’s nothing wrong with trying realms and getting it a shot but if we go to buy a realm here we can see

That it’s 9.99 a month right there for a realm at apex their lowest package which is going to be very similar to realms is 9.99 a month the reason i would go with apex you get full control mods plugins anything you want on your server you can

Do that at apex with realms you’re a bit more limited right it’s harder to add plugins mods and i don’t even think it’s truly possible with realms whereas it is possible with apex you have full control of the server you can even switch the server to a separate game if you wanted

To right so that’s the power of an apex server over realms and why personally realms are great but i would recommend apex now last but not least there’s one more way that we can play minecraft with our friends it requires them to be on the same internet connection as you

Right the same wi-fi the same router as you and to do that you simply join on into whatever single player you work world you want and if you want your friends to be able to join you you open it to lan how do you do that well right

Here you just hit escape click open to lan select this stuff you want cheats on do you want cheats off and click start lan world boom there we go that’s all we have to do now from there i’m gonna show you what it looks like on your friend’s

Computer when they go to join this server so after that hard jump cut we have two versions of minecraft open on the left here we have uh well basically the one we were just in right it is open land on this port right so we’re good to

Go there however on the right is a basically new minecraft instance now to join this if your friend is also on the same internet connection as the land world you’ve just opened then just click multiplayer and here’s our multiplayer service but down here at the bottom

There is a lan world as you can see next games and then the name of the world which is just the name of the seed because that’s how i kind of like to do things these days if i double click on it we’ll see on the left hand side my

Alt account will join in to this account now it’s a little weird on my computer because they’re technically both using the same minecraft directory but here we are in game and i can actually do something like tp myself to myself boom there we go and uh just like that

There it is we are now uh together if you will where there it is boom looking good so that’s how you can play minecraft with your friends who are on the same internet connection as you the same wi-fi network that you can play together using lan however most people

Should probably host their own server or play on a public server that’s going to be the easiest because then you don’t have to be on the same internet connection nevertheless thanks so much for watching if you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up subscribe the channel for more incredible minecraft
