How To Set Up A Minecraft Server On Windows 10

Step 5: Playing on your server.

You are now ready to play Minecraft with your friends. There are three options to play Minecraft.

1. Locally (Same PC): This is for those who just want to play by themselves. 2. Internally (Lan) – This is for your friends and you to use the same WIFI. 3. Externally (Outside Lan) – This is for your friends to connect from anywhere around the world. Minecraft Servers List Option 1. Locally: Let's start with option 1. Minecraft Servers List To connect, you will need to open Minecraft and click Multiplayer. Next, click on "Add Server". For the server name you make it whatever you want. In the server address area you can either type "0" or "LocalHost". Minecraft Servers List This will connect you with your server, and you can then play.

Option 2. Internally(Lan),: So you have some friends that you want to play. Your ipv4 adress is necessary for your friends to be able to connect. I personally recommend going to https://www.whatismyip.com/what-is-my-public-ip-address/ and getting it. You can also access it by opening cmd, and typing "ipconfig". This will also show you all of your other IP configurations. Once you have the file, share it with friends and have them enter it in to the server address field.

Option 3. Externally (Outside Lan) - This is the best option if you want to play with friends who live far away. For this you are going to need your ipv4 as well but there are some extra steps. Port forwarding your router will allow others to connect through your port. The default Minecraft port address is 25565. Youtube has many videos to help you port forward. Each provider is unique. Look up how to port forward "your provider". Once this is done, just send your IPv4 to your friends.

The End.
