Man I wish mojang made it easier on Java edition. Because on bedrock you simply go to your friends list and invite them 😭

I normally don't like nor comment on videos, but you really deserve the applause! My brother is 12, and he really wanted to play and we had trouble making it work. Now everything works great, thank you.

One question: does this work in add server instead of direct connection?

[emoacademic]

I literally never would've figured this out, thank you!!

[anthonya]

Quality tutorial! For me it took disabling firewall 😠AND entering my IP address and Port ID on friend's PC to get it to work. Such an ordeal, but I definitely appreciate the straightforward guidance from this video.

[CarsoUltimat-mzxy]

This helped me out a lot! Thanks for the tutorial!

Does this work when the world has Datapacks? Would the person joining need to download my resource and datapacks or would it be the same without them having to download them?

[sotirisaspiotis]

Does this work if you have added some mods to your server? I mean if a friend join, can he see my changed (mods)?

[ImBuiltAPunk]

it just says failed to connect to the server, connection refused, what do I do?

[HaiaNguyenuc]

Does this way can work with my friend in other IP bc my friend is so far. And can this way can do with 1.12.2 bc of modpack

[amnotmichael]

it does connect, but it keeps timing out every 5 minutes or so. anyone knows the answer?

[rajwarrior]
