No dedicated game server to configure. No Realms subscription required. One player opens a normal
Minecraft world, creates a LANBox room, and shares the room code. Friends can then discover and join
that world through Minecraft’s LAN multiplayer list.

TURN A NORMAL WORLD INTO REMOTE MULTIPLAYER

LANBox connects Android devices through a shared LAN room. Your friends can join your existing
Minecraft Bedrock world even when they are not connected to the same router.

There is no need to upload your world, configure a dedicated Minecraft server, open router ports, or
purchase a Realms subscription.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect your device to Wi-Fi.
2. Open LANBox and select a relay region.
3. Create a room and share its code.
4. Open your normal Minecraft Bedrock world.
5. Your friends join the LANBox room.
6. The world appears in their Minecraft Friends or LAN list.
7. Select the world and play together.

KEY FEATURES

• Remote Minecraft Bedrock LAN multiplayer
• No dedicated game server configuration
• No Realms subscription required
• No router port forwarding
• Join using a shared room code
• Play across different Wi-Fi networks

LANBox operates its own relay infrastructure to connect participating devices. “No dedicated server”
means users do not need to create, configure, rent, or maintain a dedicated Minecraft game server.

Connection quality depends on network latency, packet loss, relay distance, world activity, and the
number of connected players.

LANBox does not include, modify, distribute, or sell Minecraft.
