Minecraft is a very resource hungry game (even if the graphics look very retro and simple). Host the Game on the Best PCįirst, have the player with the most powerful computer host the game. Many times players can host a game and connect to other games on the network but, while they don’t get outright kicked from the game, performance is really cruddy. Putting aside some unseen but severe network issue that is causing connectivity issues, there are a few things you can do to make Minecraft a smooth experience for everyone. Unlike the previous sections of this guide, this section is a bit more ambiguous. “I Can Connect, But Game Performance Is Poor” That said, there is a good chance you may run into more than one of these issues over the course of your Minecraft-playing days, so it certainly wouldn’t hurt to read from top to bottom and even bookmark this article for future troubleshooting. We’ve set the article up with the individual sections labeled based on the specific things the people who need your troubleshooting help might say, like “I can’t see the Minecraft game on the LAN,” or “I can connect, but I get kicked out.” RELATED: Setting Up Local Multiplayer and Custom Player Skins When your child (or friend) comes to you with one of these questions, you should be able to find the answers right here.

Downside is everyone has to install it and be invited to the party but it is free so it shouldn't be more than just a minor hurdle. If you invite friends to your "party," it creates a virtual network so they can connect to the server you have running on your computer via your IPv4. It's like Steam mixed with xFire where it's a community interface. I use "Evolve", which can be found at EvolveHQ. I don't recommend Hamachi though as they're going pay-to-use, or so I've heard.
