Endless open spaces Minecraft It is much more interesting to explore friends in the company. Having under the side of the faithful associates, you can build entire cities, build interesting mechanisms, and play various scenarios. Here are just a simple and familiar button to play with friends in the game. This state of affairs, along with an abundance of versions and platforms of an inexperienced player, introduces into a stupor.
There are various options for organizing a game with friends on the network. For example, you can buy a server at a hosting or open ports and want your PC. But we will go in the other way and show you the simplest and most effective ways, and we will also consider the pluses and cons of each of them with a bonus. Let's start!
Our first way is the highest quality and reliable. On the official website Minecraft.NET you can purchase a subscription Realms or Realms Plus. She will provide you with access to your own server for 10 slots.
For minecraft: Java Edition is only available to Realms, and for everyone else – Realms Plus. In the first case, you get a server for playing with friends. In the Plus subscription – also free access to 100+ selected sets from the trading platform (new ones are added every month). It can be texture-packs, skins sets, maps with mini-players or survival tasks. Also on Realms Plus, the server can go through any version of Minecraft (except Java Edition) – from the console, phone or PC.
After the subscription, the world of the game will be available another 18 months in case you want to download it or update your subscription.

The second way is to create a Lan server on your computer, where you can later invite friends. The only requirement is that you must be constantly in the game in order for everything to work.
For Java Edition, the maximum number of simultaneously playing – 8. Only customers with Java Edition can join such a server.
For all other platforms, everything is simpler: you can play both from the phone and from the version for Windows 10, and from the consoles. Also for the LAN server on these platforms, you can set the maximum number of players up to 30. This is done using the /setmaxplayers command, which must be prescribed in the chat.
The more people on the server, the more powerful iron needs. And the quality of the connection will depend on the speed of the Internet of the Creator and the distance between it and the connecting players.

In the first case, only 5 people can be combined into the network (in the free version) and you need to register. In the second case, registration is not required and you can combine up to 150 people.
Step 1. Download the program from the official site. If necessary, register in it.
