Minecraft server

In Minecraft, players can join friends' worlds through Realms or dedicated servers. For Bedrock edition, players can directly join a friend's world by ensuring both are online and connected as friends. The steps to join a friend's Bedrock world include launching the game, navigating to "Friends," and selecting the host's name under "Joinable Friends." To invite friends to your own Bedrock world, you need to enable "Multiplayer" in the world settings and send invites after starting the game. Local multiplayer on Bedrock allows split-screen mode or LAN connections. For split-screen, player one joins a world and adds a second controller. For LAN play, all devices must be on the same internet, and the host must enable "Visible to LAN players." Players can then select the LAN world to join. To join a Minecraft Realm, players must launch the game, navigate to "Realms," and select the desired Realm. A Realm will only appear if the player owns it or has received an invitation. Inviting friends to a Realm differs between editions; in Java, players manage the Realm and add friends using their gamertags, while in Bedrock, invitations can be sent via Minecraft.net. To add friends in Bedrock, players search for their friend's Microsoft gamertag. Java edition does not have a friends list, so players can only join the same server or invite friends to a Realm using their gamertag. To join a server, players need the server address, launch Minecraft, select "Multiplayer," and enter the address. For Bedrock, the server port is typically 19132. Troubleshooting tips include ensuring the Microsoft account is signed in, verifying multiplayer permissions, updating the game, and confirming that both players are on the same version of Minecraft.
