How To Fix Minecraft Multiplayer LAN Not Working



About ..problem solved

1. **Check Network Connection:**
- Make sure all devices are connected to the same local network (LAN).
- Verify that the Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections are stable and not experiencing any issues.

2. **Disable Firewalls/Antivirus:**
- Temporary disable any firewalls or antivirus software on all devices (remember to re-enable them after troubleshooting).
- Firewalls can block the necessary ports for LAN play.

3. **Allow Minecraft Through Firewall:**
- If you want to keep your firewall enabled, make sure that Minecraft is allowed to communicate through it.
- Go to your computer's firewall settings and allow both incoming and outgoing connections for Minecraft.

4. **Check Minecraft Version Compatibility:**
- Make sure all players are using the same version of Minecraft.
- Mods or incompatible versions can lead to connection issues.

5. **Use Direct Connect:**
- Instead of relying on the LAN server list, try connecting using the "Direct Connect" feature.
- Have the host player find their local IP address (e.g., Windows: `ipconfig`, Mac: `ifconfig`), and then other players can connect using that IP followed by the Minecraft port (default is 25565).

6. **Reset Network Settings:**
- Restart your router and/or modem to refresh your network connections.
- Sometimes, network issues can be resolved by simply power cycling your network equipment.
