Okay so, I've been trying to connect to another computer in the same network as mine using LAN but I'm completely lost on why it's not working. For a while I was unable to see any connection but after messing around with windows defender and using direct connect and my ipv4 address, I was finally able to connect to the world- but of course that would have been too simple. When I try to connect it starts off normal (If not a bit slower than usual) and the other player even gets a message that I've joined the world, but then it just attempts to generate for ages before crashing me for no apparent reason. The most confusing thing is that the reason I'm being kicked isn't even consistent. Sometimes I'm just "disconnected", sometimes I "time out", sometimes it's an error, etc. I've looked on several forums and I haven't found anyone with the same problem where the connection is fine but I can't join so any help would be really appreciated. Both computers are running vanilla 1.13 on the same version of windows, same wifi and different Minecraft accounts. I've got no idea what's going on.
It's very possible you will find some help here, but for what it is worth, this particular Discussion forum is for Minecraft (aka "Bedrock"), not for Minecraft Java Edition so there might not be as many experts in how Java works as there would be over in the Java Discussion forum.
For me personally, I'm afraid I haven't played with LAN setups for either Minecraft Bedrock or Java Edition so I can't offer much beyond suggesting that you verify which ports Java Edition expects to be able to communicate over and make sure they're not blocked by either PC (probably what you already did when playing with Defender). If you're on the same LAN then the router ought not to be blocking anything.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Try using hamachi and if it still doesn't work try disabling the Windows Protection Shield on Humachi or completely and your friend has to do the same thing.

Hamachi has been squatting on a IANA allocated block, as such Hamachi conflicts with the internet itself. This forum does not support the use of hamachi. Other methods should be used instead, such as propper portforwarding.
OP: Most LAN issues come from overly protective antivirus/firewall settings.

Oh, sorry about that! Didn't realize this was the wrong forum! Thanks for the suggestions too! I'll find a better forum for this.
