NOTE: This happens when playing from my PC and my gameband when plugged into my PC! My entire firewall is now disabled, but it is still doing this. All errors say to check the firewall and allow Minecraft through, but it is disabled (and even if it wasn't, it allows both Minecraft and Java TM SE Binary). I am starting to think it may be. I just figured out why minecraft wasnt working, it wasnt because of the firewall, but because in C: Windows System32 drivers etc i found a file called 'hosts' and when I opened with notepad, it showed a code to make minecraft offline and after that, I deleted the file for good and minecraft works just as good. BackStreet Offline Browser is a high-speed, multi-threading website download and viewing program. By making multiple simultaneous server requests, BackStreet can quickly download an entire website, or section of a site, and saves all the files. Selecting the “Play Offline” Feature Open the Minecraft Launcher and click on “Login” at the lower right corner. The username and password fields must be left blank. The launcher is complete with all the available game versions from the developers – at any time, you can install one of them, even the newest Minecraft 1.16. They were not modified – all the files are downloaded from the developer's servers, which means that you get a perfectly clean Minecraft.
Minecraft is most fun when played with friends. Almost every “lan party” I host (or go to) involves Minecraft. In some of these “parties”, we don’t have access to the web. In cases like these, it might be a bit confusing to get Minecraft to work in multiplayer. So the purpose of this post is to show you how to play Minecraft over lan without internet.
The first step is to connect all the computers together through a router. If you only have two computers, then you can connect them through a LAN cable.

Step 1 – Create a server if you don’t already have one
The next step is setting up a server (if this isn’t already done). The easiest way to do this is to start the MC client (you’ll need to select the “play offline” box to be able to play). Next, click the singleplayer button and select/create the world which you want to play.
Once your world is created/opened, you need to make it accessible over LAN. To do so, press enter, then “Open to LAN”. Choose your preferred settings and press “Start LAN World”.
Notice the message that appears “Local game hosted on 0.0.0.0:7762″ you needn’t remember the zeros, but write down the numbers after that. They correspond to the port through which other people can connect to our server.
Note that you might also need to turn off your firewall to allow other people to connect.
Step 2 – Getting the required IP Address
Now, you need to determine the IP address of your computer. Go to the Windows start menu and click on run (if you’re on XP) or type “run” in the search bar if you’re on Windows Vista/7/8.
Once the Run program opens, type “cmd.exe” (without the double quotes) in the text box.
This will pop up a Command Prompt window, which might look intimidating to those of you who are less computer literate. But fear not, what we will do is completely harmless.
In the command prompt windows, type ipconfig, and press ENTER. This will pop up a bunch of different series of numbers. Now, the one you want to give your friend(s) depends on whether you’re using a router or a direct LAN cable.
If you’re using a direct LAN Cable, you need the IP address that is identified as “Autoconfiguration IP Address”
On the other hand, if you’re connected through a router, you need to look for “IP Address”
Step 3 – Connecting to the server
Now, connecting to our server is quite straightforward, you (or your friend(s)) need to open Minecraft and click on Multiplayer. Then, click on “Direct Connect” and, in the text box, enter the IP Address obtained previously followed by a colon and the port number we get in step 1:
That’s it; you should now be able to play Minecraft over LAN without internet!
