I've had Minecraft on my iPad for a few days. I know that I can't play with someone else who doesn't have an IPad. A friend is playing the game on her laptop. Therefore, as far as I know, we unfortunately can't play together. Now we're considering whether this friend can simply get the game on her IPad. But since that costs 7.99 euro again, we wanted to make sure that we could really play together. Do you know if that will work safely then? Can we play together on two iPads? Or maybe even somehow with the iPad and laptop?
Your girlfriend can briefly log in with your Apple ID and download Minecraft from there, then she doesn't have to pay anything
If she has the Bedrock version on her laptop, then you can play together.
Unfortunately, if it has the Java version, that won't work.
If you both have it on the iPad, then of course you can play together.
I have Android instead of IOS myself, but I think there's a return function in the Apple Store. If not, if your friend gets the Bedrock version, you should also be able to play together (attention: dangerous half-knowledge)
Sodas certainly doesn't work between laptop and iPad, one is the Jawa version and the other Pocked Edition, which is a completely different version.
but if you both have the PE, so on the iPad you can play together if you are in the same WLAN
Thanks! Your answer is very helpful first. But what does PE mean? And can we only play together on the same Wi-Fi network? Or also in separate households and with different networks?
Oh that's a very good idea! Thank you☺️.
can she then download the game and then switch back to her ID?
Yes you can! : 3
Do we then have to be in the same WLAN? So to play together on the iPad? Or is that also possible with separate WLAN networks?
I think you have to be on the same Wi-Fi if you both play on the iPad.
Either when you log in and then send friend requests (that's a bit strange; you have to send each other the requests)
OR
You are in the same WLAN (then you have to make sure that the LAN game is on in the world settings) then you will be displayed under Friends.
That's a good idea too. We're going to try it out now! ☺️
So PE stands for Pocket Edition that is the Minecraft version for mobile devices (cell phone tablet etc.). And no, you can only play together in the PE in the same Wi-Fi
