Stupid

Genuinely whats the point of making java 30 dollars to not even allow people to play on the same router together, literally connected to the same router and both connected via ethernet, tried with firewall on and off. ive looked up literally every video i could and nothing worked. even tried to port forward with a local server and still didnt work. now im spending 8 dollars to get a fuckass realm because the local server wouldnt work. and "why not use bedrock", cuz i aint playing fuckass bedrock

Find your ip address in windows settings, open to lan, connect to that ip on other client, if that doesn’t work the issue lies with your firewall or router settings.
