How do you play online with your friends on Minecraft?

There are two things you could do to play online with your friends on Minecraft. Firstly, you need to buy an account. Then, you could either make a Minecraft server Then you tell them to get a hamachi download, and they open it up, go to network, then join an existing network..., then they type in your Network ID, and password (if you have one), and the final step is to tell them your server IP, so they can play! This is if you want to play with your friends alone--with only them.Another option is to play on a pre-made server with a whole bunch of other strangers.And you can just tell your friends the IP of the server and you can play together. (the server type that I would recommend for this option is a faction server (this means that there are some sorts of clans, and you can fight others with your clan-which could include your friends-and it's a whole lot of fun!)
