Not everyone knows how to play with a friend online, so I will explain to you... There are two ways (there may be more, but I only know these), the first method is very easy, the other is a little more difficult.
Let me start with something more complex.
How to start playing with a friend online #1:
1. Open Minecraft ---> Create a new game world, wait, then click on the Esc button and click “Open for the network.”
2. Set the same settings that you set when creating the world.
3. Click on the “Open the world to the network” button, and in the chat we will see our incomplete IP local network Minecraft.
4. After this, we will need to find out our computer’s IP address, I won’t bother and will write the following request to Yandex - “My ip”. We are immediately given our IP, so there should be no problems.
In the end, I ended up with this creation: 95.153.186.94:51678 . You give this (only your) IP to a friend, he adds it in multiplayer, connects, and you play together.
How to play with a friend on a local network No. 2:
1. Also open Minecraft ---> create new world, we open it for the network, with the settings that were specified earlier when creating the world.
2. Open another Minecraft, yes, you heard right, and go under a different nickname, open “Network Game”, and see the local world that we have opened for the network, rewrite the IP (which is indicated by the arrow, it’s different for you), and give it to a friend. It couldn't be simpler.
My IP has changed, because it is dynamic... The local world was created in Minecraft v.1.5.2. So we figured out how to play Minecraft with a friend!
You can also play single player with a friend on the Survival Minecraft client.
All you have to do is register on the Survival Minecraft website and download the launcher.
Well, you can do the same with everyone else play on servers and find new friends or enemies :)
Have a good game!
Let's start with the fact that you only need a friend and Minecraft itself. To begin with, one of you, for example, you create a world in which you want to play together. It is also very important that you and your friend have the same versions of Minecraft. For example, if you created a world on version 1.8, then your friend should also have version 1.8. Now you need to find out your ip, you can do this on this site, or just type my ip on the Internet. Here is a screenshot from that site (2ip), the arrow shows where your ip will be (click on it and it will be copied) -
After you have found out and copied your IP, temporarily write it down somewhere, for example, in a notepad. Now go into the world and open it to the network, ESC -> Open for the network -> select the necessary parameters and open the world online. Now a port should appear in your chat, for example - 51166 . See screenshot -
Then we take the IP that you learned from previous paragraph, after the IP we put a colon (the colon is ‘ : ‘) and insert the port after the colon. This is what it should look like, I came up with an IP on the fly (this is not my IP) - 28.355.85.212:51166 . Now transfer this to your friend and your friend should log into Minecraft in Network game -> Add -> and insert there what you threw to him, for example, I have this - 28.355.85.212:51166 . See screenshot -
That's all, if everything is ok, then your friend will have your world in the list of servers and he just goes to it and that’s it, you can play together. The server description will look something like this (it will most likely be at the very bottom of the server lists) -
Now you can play with your friends!
Note, after you have opened a world online, do not exit it, because when you exit, the port will close and your friend will not be able to enter. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments or write to my group
Minecraft is a popular indie game developed in Java by just one programmer. Despite the terrible graphics and complete absence detail, the project was a huge success, and the product itself turned out to be one of the most popular in the world. For several years, the company has been developing the game, modernizing and improving it for its users. But understanding the application interface is not so easy and simple, so the question arises: “How to connect to a network game in?”
To complete this task, one of your friends or acquaintances must create a separate world in which you plan to play through the game and further create or develop your own village. Be sure to make sure that your Internet provider is stable and that your computer’s power, in particular random access memory, enough to support several players, otherwise the server may crash or crash from the open world.
Next you need to gather all the players in one network. Secondary programs cope with this task, the leader of which is Hamachi - an easy and pleasant to learn network utility. Once in one network group, you have the opportunity to directly connect to any user who has opened the world.
The last step in this instruction is direct connection. The world creator must open the game to other users using the settings in the main menu: Settings - Options - Open for network. The corresponding line about the successful operation will appear in the chat, as well as the code of the port to which you need to connect.
At this time, players must go to menu - multiplayer - direct connection. In the line that appears, you need to enter the IP address of the creator (displayed in Hamachi) and enter the desired port separated by a colon. You can enjoy the game!
Note: From time to time, players experience connection difficulties. One of the most common errors is the game not found. To get rid of the unpleasant message, the game creator needs to go to the game settings (file server.properties) And change the values in the online-mode line from “true” to “false”- this will help disable game client authentication.
To play with your friend computer game Minecraft, you can choose any convenient method for yourself, since there are a huge number of them. The most convenient and popular of them: local network, creating your own server, playing on one third-party server. Choose the best one for yourself and proceed with the steps of this article. Please note that each option has its pros and cons.
How to play Minecraft with a friend over a local network
This option is only suitable for those players who are going to spend time in Minecraft only together, and never separately. Since the game world will only be available to you if another player is connected to the network. For example, your friend distributes a local network and tells you the server IP. You play together for a certain time, but as soon as your friend goes to bed and turns off the Internet connection on the computer, the server becomes no longer available to you.
If you decide to choose this option, then proceed to the algorithm.
- Download the Hamachi program on your computer and your friend's computer. This program is publicly available on the developer’s official website and does not require additional payments. Open the program on your computer.
- Open the “network” tab and in the drop-down menu select the line “Create a new network...”
- Enter the network ID. This is a kind of login that your friends will enter to connect to your local network. Also create a password so that your friends can easily remember it. After entering, click “Create”.
- Turn on Hamachi by clicking on the big blue power button on the toolbar.
- Now log in Minecraft game. See what version you have installed. Your versions with your friend must match.
- Enter mode single player, this is the world you will be giving away to play with your friends. Create your own world with any mode.
- In the game, press the Esc key and in the menu that appears, click on the “Open for network” field.
- At the top you will see the game settings: its mode and the presence of cheats. It is better to turn off cheats at the initial stage; you can turn them on later if you wish. Click “Open the world to the network.”
- The port number will immediately pop up in the chat on the left, copy it into notepad, it is needed to form the IP address of your local network.
- Now go to Hamachi again, left-click on the program header, two lines will appear in front of you, you need the top one “Copy IPv4 address”, click on it.
- Now open notepad, first paste your IPv4 address there, then put a colon and paste the port number. You have received the server's IP address.
- You have completed all the steps to create a local network for a friend from your computer. Now look at what your friend needs to do to connect. To connect to someone else's local network to play Minecraft together, open the Hamachi network. Click on the “Network” tab and select “Connect to an existing network...”
- Enter the ID and password that your friend created in the previous step. Click “Connect”.
- Now go to the Minecraft game, select “Network play”, then “Direct connection” and in the IP address input field, enter the numbers that your friend came up with in a notepad. Now you can safely play together over a local network. This method is good because the server is always on your computer, and your world belongs only to you.
How to play Minecraft with a friend on your own server
If your computer is too weak for a local network and begins to constantly slow down, then it is better to choose this option, since here the entire amount of data will be stored on the hosting. In addition, you can install special plugins that are not available in a single player game.
- Go to any hosting site, for example, https://server.pro/login
- Register your account or log in via Facebook.
- To register you only need email address, create your password and login. After this you will find yourself on home page creating a server.
- Click on the blue “Get your server now” button.
- You need to come up with a hosting name, enter it in the white input field.
- After that, select your region. For example “Europe”. And the type of hosting is free, that is, “free”.
- All you have to do is select the server type. If you want a functional server, with advanced options for the administrator, then select “CraftBukkit”.
The remaining options remain unchanged, since they cannot be changed on the free server type. After this, you can play on your own server, just copy the IP address. Please note that this is a free hosting, so you need to enter a captcha every hour.
In addition to these two options, you can simply select a server on the Internet and play with other players together with a friend.
Minecraft is a world in which you can not only fight the aggressors provided by the game itself, but also unite into teams, fighting against other players. By playing Minecraft with a friend, you can achieve much more. Since you can mine resources together, use all buildings together, and organize military campaigns against other players, your success in the game can be doubled.
You can play Minecraft with your friends online.

How to play Minecraft with a friend over a local network
There is another option that allows you to play Minecraft together with a friend. It will be very helpful if at least one of the players does not have access to the Internet. A local network is used for this. Unfortunately, if your computers are far from each other, this connection will not be possible. But if the distance problem is solved, you only need to insert a LAN cable into both computers. Usually it is included in the kit, or you can always purchase a cable of the required length at a specialized store.
To play Minecraft with a friend online, you need to set up a connection. To do this, go to "Start>Control Panel>Network and Sharing Center". In the left part of the window that opens, find the section "Change adapter settings>Local Area Connection", open the "Network" tab and in the properties section, uncheck the line "Internet Protocol 6 (TCP/IPv6)", and in the box next to
Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4), on the contrary, check the box. Write the numbers as: 129.168.0.1. In the Subnet Mask section, fill in the following: 255.255.255.0. In the "Default gateway" column, write: 192.168.0.2. In the "DNS server" section, enter the numbers: 192.168.0.2. Save the settings by filling in on the connected devices.
Install the Minecraft server on your computer and in the server.properties park, instead of the IP address filled with numbers, write server-ip =. In the online-mode= line, enter true.
