      I didn’t see a way to set it up on Java without running a local server. Is there? I prefer Java, but it seemed like a lot of hours of work to get a server set up.

        Escape, open to lan. autodetected by other Minecraft clients on the network and works modded without issues. You can enable cheats (or not) by default every time you open it again.

        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.

          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.

          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.
