The best way to play Minecraft is with others, yet it may be played alone. For any game platform, it’s actually quite simple to add friends in Minecraft. A Microsoft account is required before you can add friends to Minecraft. For the game’s cross-play feature to work, this is necessary. You’ll need an online membership, such as Nintendo Switch Online, to play on a console. Launch the game on your device after that, and log in using the Microsoft account you’ll be using.

Collaboration with other players is advantageous in the game of Minecraft. It would be better if multiple people contributed to the creation of the worlds that can be made in the game. Additionally, the camaraderie that comes with making relationships is simply too great.

It’s important to keep in mind that if you play the Java version of the game on a PC, you can only add players that play on the same computer. The Bedrock version for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One also functions in the same way.

To add friends on Minecraft for the PC version, follow these simple steps:

  • Step 1: Make sure you have a free Microsoft account
  • Step 2: Get your friends Minecraft ID or Gamertag
  • Step 3: Launch Minecraft and load it into the world
  • Step 4: Open the in-game settings and select “Invite a friend.”
  • Step 5: You can select “find cross-platform friends.”
  • Step 6: Type in their Gamertag or Minecraft ID to find your friend, then hit “Add Friend.”

Using the “Cross-Platform” option, you can add friends by following the same procedure as previously. PC, Xbox, Playstation, and other systems are all affected by this. In Minecraft, adding someone requires searching for their Gamertag.

Naturally, before you can add a friend, you must first know their tag. Furthermore, only he or she will have that information. It’s up to you to decide if adding a haphazard gamertag you saw online was a wise move if you’re daring enough to do so. On the same “Add Friend” box, there is an option to report someone if you did not have a pleasant experience with them in the game. Then, select the friend you wish to invite by selecting “Send 1 Invite.”

  • Step 3: Select “Invite a friend.”

If done correctly, your friend just needs to accept the invitation. After they accept, you will be able to play in the same world as them.
