I just bought a new MacBook Pro 2017. I was excited because my last laptop struggled with Minecraft lans, but now I'm running into a new issue.
When I start a lan offline or online, he sees it (on his 2012 MacBook Pro) and can join it no problem.
When he starts an online lan, I do not see it but I can successfully use direct connect to put in his IP address and the port address (i.e. 192.168.43.84:485909)
When he hosts it offline and I try that same technique, it says something like "failed: authentication servers are down for maintenance".
A. I would love to not have to put in the IP address every time
B. I would love to be able to play offline, I always could with my other laptop (we don't have internet at home)
Heres what I've already tried:
Installed Java
Re-installed Minecraft (multiple times)
Disabled firewall and fire vault (and also tried enabling firewall and allowing Minecraft)
Pluggin in through ethernet instead of over a network
Restarting both computers
I've basically tried all the solutions. I can't find anything online with exactly the same issue unless it was 2 years ago.
