Minecraft, Playing On LAN

Minecraft, Playing On LAN

This is a tutorial on how to play minecraft with your friends without hosting or buying a server. This teaches you how to set up a LAN server. (Note: This will only work if you are on the same internet connection)

Firstly you just need to open minecraft as you normally would. 

Then create a world. This is the world you will be playing on, if you want to use a pre-made world just open it.

Then once your world is loaded press Esc and then click "open to LAN". If you leave the world the server will close and you will have to reopen it.

Now adjust the setting you want the other players to be in.

Here is me and my friend zack (Aka Mangonaut_) playing on LAN together.
