Common Mistakes
- Expecting the LAN world to persist after closing the game, LAN hosting ends when the host disconnects.
- Firewall blocking LAN connections, ensure the port is not blocked by the system firewall.
Notes
LAN worlds are temporary and only available while the host is online. The port is displayed in chat. Other players on the same network can see the world in their multiplayer list.
