    Yeah you play single player, pause, and hit “open to lan”

    Then someone else can connect to lan by typing in the IP. I think it autodetects a lan connection that’s already open, too, but it’s been a bit since I’ve used it.

      The problem with that is when you have some computer on the LAN that is running Windows, it doesn’t always work and who the fuck knows why.

      Oh yeah, I remember now. It wasn’t registering the IP. But yeah there should be a way, I was just having technical issues with it.

        You do need to forward the port in some routers.

        Or connect via Ethernet cable and avoid the router, if possible.

        But yeah, once any initial little hiccups are done, its actually very smooth, opening Minecraft takes longer.

        Also that can turn on cheats in a world where cheats are disabled.
