How to play Minecraft online with a friend via Tlauncher

Minecraft has become a worldwide cult game. Unusual gameplay, implemented in a huge sandbox, still attracts millions of fans. But there is one problem – the game is paid, so not everyone can afford to buy Minecraft. And gamers who want to play in the co-op will have to buy several copies.

But don’t be upset, because we have found the solution to this problem. If you don’t know how to play Minecraft online with your friend, you can just use TLauncher. With it, you can run a virtual server and enjoy the game without buying a licensed copy. Let’s find out how to set it up!

How do I play Minecraft online?

The first and most obvious way to play with a friend is to run Minecraft over the local network. To do this, you need to install TLauncher, create an account and install the appropriate version of the game. The launcher will already show the available servers to emulate the location. To get on it with a friend at the same time, your devices must work in the same network via Wi-Fi or locally.

To create a local room, follow these steps:

• Start Minecraft and create a single-player world.
• Press ESC to go to the menu.
• Click “Open for network”.
• Write down the server data: its number and port.
• Then go to the desktop and press Win+R.
• Type the command cmd.
• Enter the ipconfig command.
• Write down the IP address that is listed in the IPv4 line.
• Now your friends need to go into the game, click on “Network Game” and then “Direct Connection”.
• Give your friends the previously recorded IP address and the port to be entered in the blank fields.

Now you know how to play Minecraft online with friends! Start the game and enjoy!

Can’t connect?

If you suddenly can’t connect to play online, try repeating the above steps, paying attention to the copied data. Also pay attention to the version of the installed Minecraft game – it must be the same for all participants!

Sometimes, connection problems appear because of antivirus programs that block the local network. You can try to disable them for the time of the game.
