How to Play Minecraft on PC Through the Multiplayer Menu

When you launch Minecraft on your PC, you can choose to play Singleplayer, Multiplayer, or Minecraft Realms.

Select Multiplayer. As soon as you do, the game will search for games on your local network.

If there is a game available, select it and then select Join Server.

If no game is available, select Direct Connect.

Enter the server address and then select Join Server.

If you are hosting the game, select Add server.

Enter the server name and the server address, then select Done.

Finally, select the server you added and select Join Server.

Joining a Realm through a PC is easy, as it’s a dedicated menu option rather than an option found beneath a separate tab.

Select the server you wish to join and then select Play.

It’s a very straightforward process. You’ll join the game after a brief load time and can start building right away, or immediately greet your friends with lava on their roof.

How to Play Minecraft With Friends on Mobile

If you’re playing Minecraft through a mobile device, you can easily join a Realm or a friend’s game.

Under the Worlds tab, just tap an available Realm and you will automatically join it.

Under the Friends tab, beneath the Joinable Friends heading, tap the game you want to join.

That’s all you have to do. You will automatically join the game, assuming there is still room (not more than seven other players.)

If you wish to join a game on a Realm, all you have to do is tap the game beneath Joinable Realms heading and you will automatically be added to the game.

You can just as easily join a Minecraft server as you can a multiplayer game. There are benefits to this, too. Servers have much higher player counts and often include a lot of customization you might not find in a base vanilla game.

Tap Play.

Tap the Servers tab.

Tap the server you wish to join on the left side of the screen and tap Join Server.

If there are external resource packs needed, the server will automatically download them. This can take several minutes depending on your connection speed, but it will then add you to the game, no further steps needed.
