Many Minecraft players face the issue of Minecraft LAN not working while looking to play with their friends locally. And as frustrating and mood ruining it may be, luckily, it is fixable. Here’s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Disable Anti-virus Temporarily<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Make Sure to Enable Network Discovery<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Check that Every Computer is Connected to the Same Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Check if Everyone is Running the Same Version of Minecraft<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Make Sure Everyone has a Single IP address<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Try the Direct Connect<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Try to Play Without Mods <\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Reinstall Minecraft <\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAN (local area network) is used to connect multiple computers in a local area such as school, university, residence, and so on. The connection is made either by ethernet cables or wi-fi connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the ones playing Minecraft on Windows, it is quite common for them to get an error such as unable to use LAN, or not even get an option for LAN altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this does not mean that your device is not connected to the internet, it simply means that Minecraft is unable to use LAN<\/a> for connection to other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s very frustrating and mood ruining. But all you need to do is go to the control panel, access the Windows Defender firewall, and allow it to grant internet access to Minecraft by checking the boxes under private and public for ‘Java.exe’ or ‘Java(TM)…’ This fixes the LAN not working issue 90% of the time. However, if the issue is still not fixed, try one of the methods under the Fixes section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read More: How to Make a Saddle in Minecraft<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Windows Firewall will not allow Minecraft to use the internet if the user doesn\u2019t grant permission. However, the logical thing to expect would be a pop up asking to allow access for Minecraft. But this is not the case. Minecraft, actually, is a Java file<\/a>, and for it to access the internet you need to permit Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDetails for Enabling Java in Firewall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
