how to direct connect minecraft lan
Hey dad, I need help with something.
Hello kiddo, what's up? Anything related to Peter again?
No, not this time. Peter and I want to play Minecraft and we're having trouble connecting to LAN. Any idea how to set it up?
Oh, definitely. Here's a quick guide: First, you or Peter needs to open a Single-player world. Open the 'Menu' and click on 'Open to LAN'. Then, choose the game settings and hit 'Start LAN World'.
Okay, I did that. Now how can Peter join my game?
Well, Peter should see your game listed when he goes to 'Multiplayer'. If he doesn't, he can choose 'Direct Connect' and will have to input your IP address followed by the port number that was listed when you opened your world to LAN. It should look something like '192.168.0.1:12345'. That's basically it.
