players can play on the same minecraft world together by using the multiplayer mode. they can connect to an online server by typing in the server's address (usually an ip address), or by making a game on the local area network (lan). if the player makes a lan game, only players on the same network can play. much like the rest of minecraft, players can choose what they want to do. for example, they can choose to fight each other, or work together and survive. all game modes can be played in multiplayer.
