Me and my dad enjoy playing Minecraft together, but he can't join my LAN world for some reason. But, I can still join his without issues. I've tried turning my firewall off, but it didn't work. What could be the root cause of this problem?

My LAN server won't let my cousin join me or me join my cousin. It won't show up on the multiplayer screen - it keeps saying "scanning for LAN servers" but it never finds it. I am at his house and we use different computers but it won't connect. How can I fix this?

I'm on my tablet playing Minecraft PE. My boyfriend rang me and asked me to join his Minecraft PE world. However, I can't do it because the game doesn't show his world. What's wrong and how can I fix it?

When I try to connect to servers or join up on lan worlds in Minecraft it says "Failed to Login : Invalid session (Try restarting your game)". Multiplayer used to work fine but now keeps coming up with this error. Can anybody help?

How do I visit worlds on the 0.7.1 version of Minecraft PE?  I signed up for Realms and so did my friend and I want her to visit my world there but it says there is no available servers. What is Realms anyway – is it the new way to connect servers? Do we need to be on the same wifi system anymore?

I made a skin by using Skincraft and I exported it to minecraft.net. I chose my skin and uploaded it. At the top it says,      "Your skin has been changed! Please wait a few seconds for it to   update."   I went to Minecraft, clicked singleplayer and chose a random world at the top. I looked at my character, but it's still default. Multiplayer won't load for some reason. I don't know what I've done wrong!

I tried searching the website and couldnt find a question that answered this specific aspect of the game. Its very difficult for me to use the internet because of my location, and I have recently become interested in Minecraft.   Im aware that there is a pay version that can be played offline once youve logged in once but the idea of doing anything internet related that requires almost any kind of talking between my computer and the internet is laughable where I am right now.   Even just downloading it will probably take a day or more. Also with a connection like the one I have I sure as heck dont want to pay to play.  Is there a way I can download the game, for free, and play OFFLINE, for free?

Please bear with me since I don't play Minecraft, and I am asking this question on behalf of my kids.  They play mainly on a tablet, and want to know if they can set up a game with their friend who lives the other side of the village.  Is this possible, and if so, how?  (Please try to explain in a way that I can understand as a non-techie.)

I created a Mojang account and downloaded the Minecraft launcher, but when I started it up, I couldn't log in. Since the log in fields did not require a username, I tried typing in my email, and still couldn't log in. I've tried after resetting my password, but that didn't work either. What am I supposed to do to log in and play?

I have an Xbox one and my brother has an Xbox 360.  I couldn't figure out how to join his party or invite him to mine, or even initiate a private chat.  Is this possible or am I missing something?

How do you save a joined game after the 0.7.1 update? The menus have all changed since 0.6.x and I can't find the option to save a copy of a joined world anymore. (My friend has got a diamond house on survival and I want to save it but it doesn't let me!)

So I am on Minecraft playing on my friends world (Not server). However, they won't go online for no reason. I want to go continue my work on that world and not start brand new on survival again. I've already made a lot of progress and would not like to lose it, can somebody help? I've already tried to get answers but they are either too complicated or for servers like IP.

I am trying to make a Minecraft map but I can't set the world spawn. I did /setworldspawn then /kill and I ended up 10 blocks away then I tried again I was still 5 blocks away.   In the map it needs to keep updating your spawn point and having it not not working correctly is not an option. In one case I set the spawn, and then ended up in the next level of my map, which is clearly not intended.

Okay, I try and connect to a server when I have full connection and a ping between 40-80. When I join I just fall through the world for a few seconds.  Sometimes I get the sound like you hit the floor and everything goes black but that is as far as I get. I have deleted and reinstalled Minecraft and have turned advanced OpenGl on. I'm not sure what else I can do that may help solve this problem. Also I do not get any connection issues on other games or on the internet. As far as I can tell the logs on the developer console don't give me any information either.

We just got a new laptop (ASUS) though we did have a mac.  We are trying to log onto Mojang to download Minecraft and it keeps saying, "The username and password are not recognized."   We have done all the usual procedures; we have reset the password, we are using the email, not the username to sign in, and it looks like the minecraft login servers are working etc. etc.  We quit Minecraft on the old computer and shut off that computer thinking that was the issue.   Still, we can't get onto Mojang.  We are accessing mincraft through firefox and trying to download it to the new computer but we can't get into the account to do that!  What in the world could be the issue?

On both my computers, the entire internet connection goes down when the Minecraft Server crashes. A reboot is needed to get the internet back.  Error is something like Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer  Why is this and how can I stop it?  EDIT: PCs are both XP SP3 and have RealTek integrated network cards  EDIT #2: I am accepting @Oak's answer since it a good summary for this problem, however in my case I deleted %appdata%\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar and let the game recreate it and it seems to have fixed the issue. At least for 2 people on a local network.... we'll find out later if it comes back when we get a few more friends on the server using our public IP.  EDIT #3: Problem came back again with more people on the server however the app linked below by Oak to buffer network packets fixed it

I have an issue with my Minecraft launcher - I downloaded modpack for minecraft then the launcher started an update for the modpack version which it's 1.6.2, however then I started to get the issue      [15:40:59 ERROR]: Gave up trying to download      for job 'Version &amp; Libraries'      [15:40:59 ERROR]: Job 'Version &amp; Libraries' finished with 26   failure(s)! (took 0:01:06.362)   At the same time I had just downloaded Avira antivirus and ran it, but unfortunately  removing it and trying again didn't help. I've tried to restore the system to the point before downloading the antvirus and the mod pack a 2 days ago, I've tried turning off the firewall and I have tried removing the whole .minecraft folder all with no luck at all. I can't figure it out, all the servers are working and I have good internet connection but some of the files download fine and other don't.
