In this article, I will tell you how to play Minecraft on a local network and on the Internet.

How to play minecraft on the Internet?

You can play MineCraft on the Internet on specially created servers, you can find them on various online monitors and ratings. To start the game, we need the game itself (preferably latest version), a powerful computer (otherwise the game will slow down), high-speed Internet access (a 1Mb / s channel will be enough) and the address of the game server. So, let's begin. Start the game, enter it with your username, and then select the "Network game" item (the second button). A connection window will appear in front of you, in the first line we enter the address of the server on which we will play, then click on the "Connect" button, in the English version of the Minecraft game with skins http://minecraft-mods.pro/skins/ "Connect" and we get to the server. Once on the server, you will find that you cannot do a single action, it happened because you are not registered on this playground, this is done quite simply, in just a few steps. To register on the server, click english letter"T", we will open a chat, enter the following command "/ register pass" in it, where we change the word "pass" to our own password, that is, it looked like this to me - "/ register trash784". After a couple of seconds, the server will issue a confirmation of your registration in the chat and allow you to enter the game, for this enter the command "/ login pass", where the word "pass" is changed to your password. It will look something like "/ login crosh". After registering and logging into the server, you can start playing, perform various actions and do any business, from the construction of buildings and farming, ending with their destruction and travel around the game world.

How to play minecraft on a local network?

You can play MineCraft over a local network with friends, for example, this is quite important for playing for fun or just when there are problems with the Internet (for example, engineering works). To play on a local network, we need several computers (from two or more), an Internet cable of decent length, if there are many computers, then also a router, or wifi hotspot access. We connect all computers with a wire, and then go to the network settings. V windows 7 it is done as follows: Start -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings. We find the name of our own network, open the properties, the “Network” tab, first select the TCP / IPv6 setting, a small window opens, uncheck the box, save, open the TCP / IPv4 setting, go as follows: Properties -> Use the following IP address. Enter the following parameters:

  1. IP address: 192.168.0.1
  2. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  3. Default gateway: 192.168.0.2
  1. Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.2

Then we press the save button, "ok" and close the settings. See the server settings below, after configuring the local network for windows xp. Settings for Windows XP: First, open the Control Panel and go along the following path: Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connections. Open the properties, the "General" tab, open TCP / IP, a window with properties will open, select the "Use the following IP address" item, enter the parameters:

  1. IP address: 192.168.0.2
  2. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  3. Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Open the "Use the following DNS server" tab and enter the parameters:

  1. Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

We save the changes and close the settings. Creation and configuration of the server. When we have configured the local network, we can proceed to creating and installing the MineCraft servers, which is not so difficult to create, it is done as follows:

  1. Download any game server suitable for your version of the game, save it to a folder.
  2. Open the file "server.properties", find the line "server-ip = ..." and delete everything that is written after the "=" sign, so that you have a line with empty value"Server-ip =".
  3. We find in the same file the line "online-mode = false", delete "False", insert "true" in its place.
  4. The server is ready, now you can start it. To start the game, open MineCraft and in the line with the server address enter: 192.168.0.1:25565 (for Windows 7) or 192.168.0.2:25565 (for Windows XP).

Second method suitable for all types operating systems, in the line "server-ip =" enter the value "localhost", save the changes, open the game and write localhost in the line with the IP address and then click on the connection. But, this method does not work on all computers and not on all (because of many subtleties and peculiarities), therefore it is easier to use the first option. That's all, with such simple and quick steps you can set up Minecraft for playing on the Internet and with your favorite friends on the local network.

It seems that everyone is playing on the network, you go to the server, and you play for yourself. But what to do if you don't feel like running in a single, and with just anyone, too. Here with friends, or at least one. But for this you need to make your own server. You can run on LAN, if two or three. In general, there are options. From the moment the multiplayer function appeared in Minecraft, this is basically how the people played. Later they began to create full-fledged servers. In addition, not all servers can be accessed if the game is not purchased. Moreover, if you officially have to pay for the client part of the game, then the server room is initially freely available, that is, if the machine pulls, and even better, if there is a separate computer where you can put the server, then you can run a full-fledged "adult" server for free. and without breaking any laws. In order to play Minecraft on the network for free, and without registration, you will have to create your own server. Here are some solution cases.

How to play Minecraft online. Local network creation

The local network will be convenient if we want to play with one or two friends. The more people we are going to let into our games, the further we move away from the local network, and the closer we get to a full-fledged server. A local network can be created:

  • Physically, having two computers in the same room or building, network cable in between, Wi-fi or through a router.
  • Programmatically, computers can then be located in different cities, countries, and so on ... Such a local network is created using VPN, tunneling and other scary things. For our purposes, there is a fairly convenient program - Hamachi, which manages the tunnels on its own. The main thing is that all participants have the same version of hamachi.

Physical local area network

For it, you need to establish a connection of computers bypassing the Internet. If both of your computers have the same source of Internet access (the same Wi-Fi network, cable connection with one router, etc.), then there is a high probability that they are physically already on the same local network, or within one "network node". In this case, additional configuration is most often not needed, the same router is responsible for the distribution of IP addresses. In case two computers connect directly to each other, it may be necessary to manually configure the IP addresses.

After that, you can launch Minecraft, create a network game, and start playing. Players just need to find a server on the local network. The only drawback is the high load on the distributing computer or mobile device. Yes, having the appropriate versions of Minecraft, you can play both through a smartphone and through a tablet, only the server takes up a lot of resources. To solve this problem, it is better to designate a computer that does not participate in the game as a server.

Logical local area network

Let's figure out step by step what you need to do to play minecraft on the network through hamachi. For this:

  1. First of all, you need to download hamachi. Link to the official website.
  2. After downloading the same version on all computers, install it.
  3. On one of the computers, preferably the one that will be the Minecraft server, we create a connection to hamachi. Enter the network name and password to connect other participants to the network.
  4. On other computers, you can now connect to the created network by entering the appropriate name and password.
  5. Now that the connection is established, you can launch Minecraft on your main computer and create a world. After creation, we open the world to the network. We remember the port that will be indicated in the chat when opening the world over the network.
  6. After launching Minecraft, the participants copy the IP address of the main computer (IPV4 - it is easy to copy it to hamachi), select “direct connection” to the server in Minecraft and insert this IP into the “Server address” field, and after it, without spaces “:” and port number. After that, they press the "Connect" button and go to the server.

Creation of a server for Minecraft

If you want 5-10 people to participate in the game, then it will be more convenient to make a normal server.

In order to do it, you need

  1. First, download the server side from https://minecraft.net/ru/download/server.
  2. Place the downloaded file in a separate folder, which will simultaneously be the root of the server directory. Run the file and let the unpacked files necessary for the server to work.
  3. The server is ready to go. For its settings, you will need to make changes to the file server.properties. There are many parameters in it, but first of all they will come in handy gamemode, which allows you to set the default game mode, a white-list, which will allow access only to certain players, and max-build-height, first of all - to limit the load on the server .

It is worth noting that the files that are in work are subject to change, and the changes you made take effect only after the server is restarted. Therefore, it would be more correct to edit the server settings when it is turned off.

How to play Minecraft online. Connecting to your server in Minecraft

If we still want to connect to our server from the same computer on which it is running, then we need to start the Minecraft client, and when connecting to the server, specify localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the IP. The default port is usually 25565.

To connect to your server via the Internet, it is better to have a static IP on it, otherwise you will have to enter a new address almost every time you reconnect. To determine the IP address of the server (where to connect to?), The easiest way is to use an online service, such as http://2ip.ru. The “name of your computer”, consisting of four series of numbers, is your IP address. The port for Minecraft is still the same - 25565.

If the server connects to the Internet indirectly, through a router, a router, then this port may be closed on the router. In this case the best solution will open or "forward" this port on the router. Opening a port on the router requires access to it through its web interface, and sometimes downloading additional software.

In the simplest case, you can log into the web interface of the router using the settings indicated on its case. The IP address can change, and when you enter the web interface itself, the combination of login: admin and password: password is almost always triggered.

Depending on the router model and its firmware version, the forwarding function can be called NAT or Port Forwarding. Having found the appropriate menu item, you should fill in the fields of the start and end ports with the desired value (in our case, 25565), and in the IP-address field, indicate the address of the computer that we use as a server. The ports are configured for the TCP and UDP protocols. After such an operation, the server should be accessible to users via the Internet.

In order for a server with high traffic to work stably, it must be administered, but this is a separate topic. Stable servers are usually built not on Windows, but on Linux, and this operating system has many features of its own. In addition, additional mods and scripts will be required to maintain public interest. All this will take time and effort, and it will take more than one article to describe the administration process itself.

Setting up the game

Novice users should be the first to complete the following steps:

  2. In addition, you will need to set the basic settings, which include, among other things, the difficulty level and sound settings.
  3. The game has four difficulty levels: survival, creative, adventure and hardcore. The difficulty level mainly affects whether monsters or "mobs" can appear at night or out of the ground. In addition, on a difficult level, you will also encounter zombies that can destroy wooden doors and kill the character.
  4. In multiplayer mode, you don't have to create your own world. You can join someone else's game. To select a multiplayer server, you need to go to the game's website, such as PlanetMinecraft. After you have chosen the server on which you are going to start the development of lands, you can proceed to the settings of the multiplayer game.

Enabling multiplayer mode

Your task is to have time to build yourself a shelter before the sun sets, before the monsters appear, ready to kill the character. Further, everyone chooses their own style of play, builds up special strategies and determines an action plan. Someone focuses on the construction and collection of various valuable artifacts, someone prefers to focus on weapons.

Minecraft is fun to play. And it's even more fun with friends! But many people have a question: how to play Minecraft PE on the network? There are several such ways, and in this article I will answer this question to make survival / construction in Minecraft PE doubly interesting!

How to play Minecraft PE on the server?

First you need to find out where the multiplayer menu is. To do this, click "Play" -> "Friends" tab. From here you will enter the online game.


The easiest way - LAN play- you just need to connect to one Wi-Fi and be as long as possible closer friend to friend. And the game itself will find the nearest player and you will be able to connect. Do not forget to enable LAN play in the settings! Also in the parameters you can enable the game via 3G ( Mobile Internet, no Wi-Fi).
But only 5 people can connect to such a world. If you want up to 10 people to join you, then we will help you Realms service... This is an officially Mojang-supported "procedure" (if you can call it that).


To play Realms you need an Xbox Live account. You can register it absolutely free of charge by clicking the "Enter profile" button in the main menu and in the "Create it" window that opens.


Now go to the worlds menu in the "Realms" tab and create a free server for 10 players for 1 month (then about 600 rubles / month, so turn off the auto-renewal of your subscription on your Google, Apple ID or Microsoft account). Now your friends can add your Xbox Live account to your friends list and you can play Minecraft PE online.
If you don't want to pay 600 rubles a month, there is a cheaper and more interesting option. This game hosting... You can find many similar sites on the Internet. Usually the minimum number of slots on your server can be 10 slots (as is the case with Realms), but you will pay about 100 rubles for this. In addition to the usual game with friends, you can install various plugins on the server (most often in the .phar format). You can download plugins for the Minecraft PE server at.

The most interesting feature of the server is donation. You can connect a donation for players so that they can receive any privilege, and you can receive income. Also, do not forget that on our website you can order a PR of your Minecraft PE server. All the details in!

Sometimes there is no money either for a server on hosting or for Realms, but you want to play with your friends. You can of course do this over a local area network, but what if you are far away? Then the NetherBox service (formerly InstantMCPE) comes to the rescue. you can order a free server for 24 hours. To do this, go to the site, click the big orange button and wait a little.

The address and port of your new server will appear shortly.

Press the "Send Command" button and enter without the slash and quotes: "op is your nickname". Now it remains to tell your friends the address and port and go. Although now many hosting providers also support a free trial server for a few days.


How to log into Minecraft PE servers?

1. Go into the game and click "Play" -> "Friends" -> "Square button next to the" Add friend "button" (located on the right).


2. A window for adding a server will open. In the "Name" field, enter an arbitrary name (preferably one that you immediately understand in order to find out what kind of server it is). In the "Address" field, enter a numeric or alphabetic IP, and in "Port", oddly enough, the port (5 digits). There is a section on the site where you can choose a server for yourself.


3. Click "Play"
4. Done!
I wish you a successful game with friends and alone!
