Are you able to use LAN?

[Novalar]

Hey,

Does anyone know if you can use LAN to play together? Like in Mincraft where you open up a singleplayer world and then just click open to LAN and everyone who is on the same WiFi can connect?

Although I have not tested this myself, there shouldn't be any problems with setting it up. If everyone is connected to the same network, using your local IP should work. You can also have the server up and have people connect to your external IP provided your port is open for the port you're using (default is 4242 but can be changed).

So if I open a singleplayer world other people on my network should be able to connect to it with the localhost:4242?

 

[Crusade]

No, localhost:4242 points to the computer you're using. You'll need to find the local IPv4 address.

eg: My pc on my home network is 192.168.0.34

 

[Novalar]

Okay, so if I find my local IPv4 address other people can join? (sorry I'm really bad at these things )

Yes. Open command prompt and punch in "ipconfig" without the quotation marks. I'll throw back a bunch of info, including your IPv4

Yes. Open command prompt and punch in "ipconfig" without the quotation marks. I'll throw back a bunch of info, including your IPv4

The command is called "ifconfig" on mac or linux.
