Are you looking to play Minecraft with friends on different devices? It can be a bit tricky to figure out how to allow your friends to join your Minecraft world on your Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch, or mobile device. Fortunately, it’s not impossible. In this post, we’ll guide you through the steps to make it happen.
First, open up Minecraft and press “Play” on the home screen. If you want your friends to join off you, your world should automatically display to them under a list. They can then select your name and join on you. However, if you want to make this option available to your friends, you’ll need to go to the world you want to play and select the crayon to the right of it to edit the world.
On the left-hand side, scroll down to “Multiplayer” and make sure “Multiplayer Game” is selected and turned on. If it’s turned off, your game is effectively a single-player game, and no one can join you. Once you turn it back on, you’ll have the option to allow friends of friends on a PlayStation network or the home network you’re on. If you’re on mobile or Xbox, you’ll have similar options.
If you want to invite people to your game, you can press “Options” and then go to “Invite to Game”. You can find cross-platform friends to invite or invite friends on your home console.
And that’s it! You’re now ready to generate the blocks in your world and start playing with your friends. If you found this guide helpful, don’t hesitate to give it a thumbs up. No need to subscribe to anything, just enjoy playing Minecraft with your friends.
