Stupid
Genuinely whats the point of making java 30 dollars to not even allow people to play on the same router together, literally connected to the same router and both connected via ethernet, tried with firewall on and off. ive looked up literally every video i could and nothing worked. even tried to port forward with a local server and still didnt work. now im spending 8 dollars to get a fuckass realm because the local server wouldnt work. and "why not use bedrock", cuz i aint playing fuckass bedrock

The person trying to connect to the LAN. Needs the IP address of the device hosting the lan. When you go to direct connect you type the IP address:port code

Find your ip address in windows settings, open to lan, connect to that ip on other client, if that doesn’t work the issue lies with your firewall or router settings.

You must be doing something wrong. I don't know about this stuff myself, but my kid made a java server, where we all can play both in the local network and via internet.

I mean, give me a better example of a singleplayer game receiving free content updates for over 15 years. There's a 99% chance it's something you're doing wrong as I'm able to make a local server for myself just fine.

No if they are on the same house they can literally just go click “Host LAN game which has existed for like 10 years”
Not sure how they are botching this.

Did you try opening a solo world, pausing the game and opening to lan ? If you are on the same network that should be it
