Minecraft is fun to play. And it's even more fun with friends! But many people have a question: how to play Minecraft PE online? There are several such methods, and in this article I will answer this question to make survival/construction in Minecraft PE twice as interesting!
How to play Minecraft PE on a server?
First you need to find out where the online game menu is. To do this, click "Play" --> "Friends" tab. From here you will enter the online game. 
The easiest way - game by local network
- you just need to connect to the same Wi-Fi and be as close to each other as possible. And the game itself will find the nearest player and you can connect. Don't forget to enable local network play in the settings! You can also enable the game via 3G in the settings ( Mobile Internet, no Wi-Fi).
But only 5 people can connect to such a world. If you want up to 10 people to join you, then this will help you Realms service. This is an officially supported "procedure" (if you can call it that) by Mojang. 
To play Realms you will need an Xbox Live account. You can register it absolutely free by clicking the “Login to profile” button in the main menu and “Create it” in the window that opens.
Now go to the worlds menu in the "Realms" tab and create a free server for 10 players for 1 month (then about 600 rubles/month, so turn off auto-renewal of the subscription on your Google, Apple ID or Microsoft account). Now your friends can add your Xbox Live account to their friends list and you can play Minecraft PE online.
If you don't want to pay 600 rubles a month, there is a cheaper one interesting option. This gaming hostings. You can find many similar sites on the Internet. Typically, the minimum number of slots on your server can be 10 slots (as is the case with Realms), but you will pay about 100 rubles for this. In addition to the usual game with friends, you can install various plugins on the server (most often in .phar format). You can download plugins for the Minecraft PE server at.
The most interesting feature of the server is donation. You can connect a donation for players so that they can receive some kind of privilege, and you can receive income. Also, do not forget that on our website you can order PR for your Minecraft PE server. All details in!
Sometimes you don’t have money for either a hosting server or Realms, but you still want to play with friends. Sure, you can do this over a local network, but what if you're far away? Then the NetherBox (formerly InstantMCPE) service comes to the rescue. you can order a free server for 24 hours. To do this, go to the website, click the big orange button and wait a bit.
The address and port of your new server will soon appear.
Click the "Send Command" button and enter, without the slash and quotes: "op your nickname." Now all that remains is to tell your friends the address and port and come in. Although now many hosting sites also support a free trial server for a few days.
How to log into Minecraft PE servers?
1. Go to the game and click “Play” --> “Friends” --> “Square button next to the “Add friend” button” (located on the right). 2. The Add Server window will open. In the "Name" field, enter an arbitrary name (preferably one that you will immediately understand in order to find out what kind of server it is). In the "Address" field, enter a numeric or alphabetic IP, and in the "Port", oddly enough, the port (5 digits). There is a section on the site where you can choose a server for yourself.
3. Click "Play"

I wish you a successful game with friends and alone!
Probably everyone who plays Minecraft has at least once wanted to play an online game with a friend. The easiest way to play was through a phone, since you only needed to distribute Wi-Fi, and the other player would connect to it. But if someone wanted to play Minecraft via a computer over a network, then they probably encountered difficulties.
How to play Minecraft with a friend online?
There are several ways to play:
- Play on one server;
- Play in your own world by downloading Hamachi;
- Play with friends over Wi-Fi on your phone.
These methods work for any version of Minecraft, so don't worry if you have an older or newer version.
Method one: playing over IP
For Online Games, just agree with a friend or friends on which server you will play. Next, enter the server’s IP address, log in and you can safely play online all together.
Method two: playing through Hamachi
Download the Hamachi program to your computer, it is available for free. After that, launch and register.
After registration, you will see the following window:
After you have created a network, launch Minecraft, then create new world or select an existing one. After you have logged into the server, open it for the network (to do this, pause the game and click on “Open for the network”). The local network port will be written in the chat.
You won't have to do anything else. Your friend must first connect to your network in Hamachi by writing a name and password. Then copy your IP address and paste it into the address bar. Then, without a space, put a colon and the local network port (these are the numbers that were shown for you). It should be approximately the same as in the screenshot.
Let's start with the fact that you only need a friend and Minecraft itself. To begin with, one of you, for example, you create a world in which you want to play together. It is also very important that you and your friend have the same versions of Minecraft. For example, if you created a world on version 1.8, then your friend should also have version 1.8. Now you need to find out your ip, you can do this on this site, or just type my ip on the Internet. Here is a screenshot from that site (2ip), the arrow shows where your ip will be (click on it and it will be copied) -
After you have found out and copied your IP, temporarily write it down somewhere, for example, in a notepad. Now go into the world and open it to the network, ESC -> Open for the network -> select the necessary parameters and open the world online. Now a port should appear in your chat, for example - 51166 . See screenshot -
Then we take the IP that you learned from the previous paragraph, after the IP we put a colon (the colon is ‘ : ‘) and insert the port after the colon. This is what it should look like, I came up with an IP on the fly (this is not my IP) - 28.355.85.212:51166 . Now transfer this to your friend and your friend should log into Minecraft in Network game -> Add -> and insert there what you threw to him, for example, I have this - 28.355.85.212:51166 . See screenshot -
That's all, if everything is ok, then your friend will have your world in the list of servers and he just goes to it and that’s it, you can play together. The server description will look something like this (it will most likely be at the very bottom of the server lists) -
Now you can play with your friends!
Note, after you have opened a world online, do not exit it, because when you exit, the port will close and your friend will not be able to enter. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments or write to my group

Please note that each option has its pros and cons.
How to play Minecraft with a friend over a local network
This option is only suitable for those players who are going to spend time in Minecraft only together, and never separately. Since the game world will only be available to you if another player is connected to the network. For example, your friend distributes a local network and tells you the server IP. You play together for a certain time, but as soon as your friend goes to bed and turns off the Internet connection on the computer, the server becomes no longer available to you.
If you decide to choose this option, then proceed to the algorithm.
- Download the Hamachi program on your computer and your friend's computer. This program is publicly available on the developer’s official website and does not require additional payments. Open the program on your computer.
- Open the “network” tab and in the drop-down menu select the line “Create a new network...”
- Enter the network ID. This is a kind of login that your friends will enter to connect to your local network. Also create a password so that your friends can easily remember it. After entering, click “Create”.
- Turn on Hamachi by clicking on the big blue power button on the toolbar.
- Now enter the Minecraft game. See what version you have installed. Your versions with your friend must match.
- Enter single player mode, this is the world you will be given to play with friends. Create your own world with any mode.
- In the game, press the Esc key and in the menu that appears, click on the “Open for network” field.
- At the top you will see the game settings: its mode and the presence of cheats. It's better to turn off cheats on initial stage, you can enable them later if you wish. Click “Open the world to the network.”
- Immediately in the chat on the left the port number will pop up, copy it into notepad, it is needed to form the IP address of your local network.
- Now go to Hamachi again, left-click on the program header, two lines will appear in front of you, you need the top one “Copy IPv4 address”, click on it.
- Now open notepad, first paste your IPv4 address there, then put a colon and paste the port number. You have received the server's IP address.
- You have completed all the steps to create a local network for a friend from your computer. Now look at what your friend needs to do to connect. To connect to someone else's local network to play Minecraft together, open the Hamachi network. Click on the “Network” tab and select “Connect to an existing network...”
- Enter the ID and password that your friend created in the previous step. Click “Connect”.
- Now go to the Minecraft game, select “Play online”, then “ Direct connection” and in the IP address input field, enter the numbers that your friend came up with in his notepad. Now you can safely play together over a local network. This method is good because the server is always on your computer, and your world belongs only to you.
How to play Minecraft with a friend on your own server
If your computer is too weak for a local network and begins to constantly slow down, then it is better to choose this option, since here the entire amount of data will be stored on the hosting. In addition, you can install special plugins that are not available in a single player game.
- Go to any hosting site, for example, https://server.pro/login
- Register your account or log in via Facebook.
- To register, you only need an email address, create your password and login. After this you will find yourself on home page creating a server.
- Click on the blue “Get your server now” button.
- You need to come up with a hosting name, enter it in the white input field.
- After that, select your region. For example, “Europe”. And the type of hosting is free, that is, “free”.
- All you have to do is select the server type. If you want a functional server, with advanced options for the administrator, then select “CraftBukkit”.
The remaining options remain unchanged, since they cannot be changed on the free server type. After that, you can play on your own server, just copy the IP address. Please note that this is a free hosting, so you need to enter a captcha every hour.
In addition to these two options, you can simply select a server on the Internet and play with other players together with a friend.
