This is an extension that lets you play Minecraft on multiple computers with the same game and player settings, even if the computers are in different locations and don't use the same language. The extension works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android versions of Minecraft with the help of aka.ms/mcmultiplayerhelp. It does not work with the mobile version or split-screen multiplayer games on the Xbox One console or Nintendo Switch console.
