This is a simple tutorial to show how to add friends on Minecraft in Windows 10
With a lot of people now working remotely and students completing their professional courses from home, the gaming industry has started to witness something of a boost. The user base has witnessed a sharp increase, which in turn, has incentivized game developers to put in their best work to attract a larger audience.
For years, people have been torn between single-player gameplay or playing online with their friends, but the current scenario has brought the whole world under a single tent, allowing people from every corner of the world to collaborate, or in this case, enjoy gaming together.

Although the developers have stopped providing upgrades to this version, it still comes pre-installed on the Raspberry Pi OS and even today, you can enjoy some Minecraft on it.
