![]() Many times players can host a game and connect to other games on the network but, while they don't get outright kicked from the game, performance is really cruddy. Putting aside some unseen but severe network issue that is causing connectivity issues, there are a few things you can do to make Minecraft a smooth experience for everyone. Unlike the previous sections of this guide, this section is a bit more ambiguous. ![]() "I Can Connect, But Game Performance Is Poor" In older versions of Minecraft, you can't specify it, and in newer versions of Minecraft, it is still randomized (but you can override it if you wish).Īs such, you need to either check the port when you open the game on the host machine (it is displayed on the screen immediately after you open the game, as seen below) or you need to look at the listing for the game on the multiplayer screen of another client on your network that can successfully connect (where it will list both the IP address and port number under the name of the open game). How do you know what port to use? The game port for Minecraft LAN games is randomly assigned each time the host player's map is opened for LAN play. If you see a screen like the one above, where it continually scans for LAN games but does not find them then click on the "Direct Connection" button and enter the local IP address and port number of the host player's game in the format. Some routers also automatically apply AP isolation to all guest networks without specifying that setting to the user so, again, double-check that none of the players are logged into your router's guest network or temporarily turn off AP isolation for the guest network for your Minecraft party. This setting is usually labeled as "AP isolation," but you might see it as "Access Point Isolation," "User Isolation," "Client Isolation," or some variation thereof. Some routers have a security feature (which is typically only applied to Wi-Fi users and not hardwired Ethernet users) that isolates users from each other so that everyone can connect to the Internet, but individual users cannot connect to each other. If both computers can access the Internet but fail the ping test, there is a final thing to look at: user isolation. On a home network, the success rate should be 100%. The ping command will give you an output that tells you how fast it was able to connect to the other computer as well as how many of the individual packets were returned successfully. This command will output various data about the IP address and state of the computer's network card. Start by opening up the command prompt on each computer and typing "ipconfig" for Windows users and "ifconfig" for Linux and Mac users. If everyone is connected to the same network, but you still can't connect, it could be due to a feature on your router called AP isolation. You can check to see if each player's computer can reach the computer hosting the game with a simple ping test. ![]() If any computers are connected to the router via ethernet, ensure they're connected to the same router that the others are connected to over Wi-Fi. player 1 isn't on "Wireless" and player 3 is on "Wireless_Guest"). Double-check that all computers are on the same local network with the same name (e.g. With Wi-Fi devices, especially laptops, it's always possible that the device is connected to a nearby open Wi-Fi network or a neighbor's Wi-Fi you've used before. We've set the article up with the individual sections labeled based on the specific things the people who need your troubleshooting help might say, like "I can't see the Minecraft game on the LAN," or "I can connect, but I get kicked out."Įnsure that all computers are on the same network. When your child (or friend) comes to you with one of these questions, you should be able to find the answers right here.

How to Identify Your Minecraft LAN Problem Let's take a look at how to identify and iron out issues with Minecraft LAN play.
