Question

Why can't my sibling and I play on the same multiplayer server, even if we're using the same version?

Community Answer

Since you and your sibling are likely on the same wireless network, the server views both of your connections as having the same address. Servers don't work when two connections are made from the same address, so one player will not be able to join. To work around this, one of the players will need to connect to a virtual private network (VPN) first, then connect to the server. This will trick the server into thinking that the player is connecting from a different location.

Question

How can I play with my friend?

Community Answer

You can play locally if you're connected to the same wireless network. You can also try to join the same multiplayer server. If you are really dedicated, you can setup and run your own private Minecraft PE server.

Question

Why can't I join a server?

Community Answer

There are several reasons you may not be able to join a server. First, check that you've entered the server address and port correctly. If the server is full, you'll have to wait until someone leaves. Finally, sometimes servers go offline. It may have moved to a new address, gone down for maintenance, or shut down completely.
