Yes, you can play minecraft over a Local Area Network (LAN) using a crossover cable. Simply connect two computers directly with the cable, ensure both are on the same network, and then start a Minecraft game on one computer. The other computer can then join the game by selecting the LAN option and connecting to the host's game. Make sure both computers have the same Minecraft version for compatibility.
Use a crossover cable.
Crossover Cable (T568A on one end, T568B on the other)

If you want to connect two routers with a wire you have use a straight lan cable NOT crossover cable.
If you have a cracked client, sure.
Either use a crossover cable or connect them using a hub, switch, or router.
@ computers to computer connected together via a crossover cable. No hub, switch, domain or central server.
A LAN world means if someone is playing Minecraft using the same modem/router as you, they can come into your world and play with you.
Yes, they can play together on a LAN game, but Mineshafters cannot play any real Minecraft games
If both PCs have ethernet cards, the best cable to use would be a crossover cable. A crossover cable is almost the same thing as a regular ethernet cable, except the wires inside the connector are reversed on one end. This reversing of the wires allows you to connect a crossover cable between two PCs without any other network equipment like a switch or a hub.
The sequence of wires in a LAN cable, such as for a crossover or straight-through configuration, is identified using the T568A and T568B wiring standards. These standards specify the color coding of the wires within the cable, outlining the pinouts for both types of connections. A straight-through cable uses the same wiring sequence on both ends, while a crossover cable features one end wired according to T568A and the other to T568B. This ensures proper data transmission between devices, such as connecting similar devices or connecting to switches.
