To find your Minecraft LAN server address, open the game and enter your world. Press `Esc`, then click 'Open to LAN.' Note the port number displayed. On your computer, open Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac) and type `ipconfig` (Windows) or `ifconfig` (Mac). Look for the IPv4 address under your network connection. Combine this IP address with the port number from Minecraft – this will be your LAN server address (e.g., 192.168.1.5:25565).
