First, I'd like to say I am an absolute noob. I have been trying to look for help/information about minecraft and apparently everybody knows whats happening but me! Yes, it took me almost an hour to figure out how to get a block out of my inventory and place it in the world. Yep, I'm that much of a noob.
So here's the thing, I work at an after school centre and basically all the children play minecraft. They have been telling me all about it, and it actually sounded good. I played the demo and it was pretty awesome, despite how much I sucked at it. (I don't always suck at games, I promise!). Naturally, I now want to buy the game, and I was hoping that I could connect the kids ipads/laptops together and play multiplayer. Obviously I'd need to do it for them, and it would be awesome to play with them too (yes, I would technically be getting paid to play mindcraft). Now here comes my questions. I think its just easier to list them. Some might be too stupid to even answer, but maybe I'll be close to the mark with one or two. In the end, I'm just aiming to find a way to have multiplayer.
1. Can you play multiplayer over an IP?
2. If you can play multiplayer over an IP, can the PC and PE version play together?
3. Can you play multiplayer over LAN?
4. If you can play multiplay over LAN, can the PC and PE version play together?
5. Is there any possible way the PC and PE version can play together?
6. If not, can the PC version somehow change to a PE version, to connect with another PE version?
7. If I was to subscribe to realms and create a server, can I connect the children to it? Can I connect ipads to it, or only laptops?
8. You've gone through all these questions and the answer is no to all of them. I can only connect PC to PC and PE to PE. In that case, which version should I buy? And should I just ditch involving the kids at all and just go have lots of fun playing on my own?
Thanks for reading! I know its a rediculously long post, and very very dumb. But I am very very confused.
