Minecraft is most fun when played with friends. Almost every 'lan party' I host (or go to) involves Minecraft. In some of these 'parties', we don't have access to the web. In cases like these, it might be a bit confusing to get Minecraft to work in multiplayer. So the purpose of this post is to show you how to play Minecraft over lan without internet.
There are 2 versions of Minecraft: Bedrock edition and Java edition. Java edition is the PC version, while Bedrock is cross platform and is on most of the other devices (except for discontinued ones, like Xbox 360). You can play at the same time using different devices, on the same account. However, only one of those accounts can join public servers. The others must stay on singleplayer mode. Otherwise, you may get kicked, or even banned, from the server.
(Make sure you log into the same account. Place the Dropbox folder under My Documents, and wait for your Minecraft saves to automatically download from the server. Second, delete (or move to another folder) the 'saves' folder under the.minecraft folder (which, if you forgot, is located under your AppData folder).
The first step is to connect all the computers together through a router. If you only have two computers, then you can connect them through a LAN cable.
Step 1 – Create a server if you don't already have one
The next step is setting up a server (if this isn't already done). The easiest way to do this is to start the MC client (you'll need to select the 'play offline' box to be able to play). Next, click the singleplayer button and select/create the world which you want to play. How to play filler on gamepigeon.
Once your world is created/opened, you need to make it accessible over LAN. To do so, press enter, then 'Open to LAN'. Choose your preferred settings and press 'Start LAN World'.

Note that you might also need to turn off your firewall to allow other people to connect.
Step 2 – Getting the required IP Address

In the command prompt windows, type ipconfig, and press ENTER. This will pop up a bunch of different series of numbers. Now, the one you want to give your friend(s) depends on whether you're using a router or a direct LAN cable.
If you're using a direct LAN Cable, you need the IP address that is identified as 'Autoconfiguration IP Address'

Step 3 – Connecting to the server
