How to Direct Connect Minecraft LAN

Playing Minecraft with friends online is an essential part of the game’s social aspect. However, joining a server or hosting a server often involves many players, and there’s no direct control over who’s invited and who’s not. That’s where Direct Connect, or Direct Hosting, comes into play. This article will cover the process of connecting Minecraft directly for a local LAN game, making sure only trusted players join.

Step 1: Identify the Players

Before the Setup
To avoid any hassle or issues while setting up a direct connect Minecraft LAN, gather all the participants’ internet protocol (IP) addresses and usernames beforehand.

Table 1: Identifying Players and IP Addresses

Username	IP Address
John Doe	192.168.1.100
Jane Doe	192.168.1.150
David Brown	192.168.1.200
Michael	192.168.1.100 ( Same IP as John)

Take note that an IP address of 0.0.0.0 can indicate either the local or the WAN network, not always specific, depending on the IP setup of each host.

Step 2: Launch the Client and Find the LAN Option

Launch the Minecraft: Java Edition launcher on the client that will host the direct connect session.

Press Browse Game Directory, and then double-click bin, then right-click the minecraft-launcher, and finally run as Administrator.

Alternatively, Command Line Mode: Type this in your operating system’s console/terminal **% path-to-launcher% bin minecraft` in Administrator mode (the same account must own Minecraft folder and it must not contain spaces.)

Now you have `./Minecraft’ file as command: use this way as option for launching *
