	'''Multiplayer''' is the style of playing ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]'' that involves multiple [[Minecraft:player]]s interacting on a single [[Minecraft:world]] hosted by a player or an external [[Minecraft:server]], allowing them to work together to mine [[Minecraft:ores]], build structures, and fight [[Minecraft:mobs]] (or [[Minecraft:PvP\|each other]]), or to simply play together.

	The game runs an internal [[Minecraft:server]] for singleplayer mode, allowing for better parity between the multiplayer and singleplayer experience. However, there are still some differences between a multiplayer and singleplayer game, one being that the game cannot be [[Minecraft:pause]]d by a player.

However, there are still some differences between a multiplayer and singleplayer game, one being that the game cannot be [[Minecraft:pause]]d by a player.

	Opening the ~~pause~~ menu in multiplayer does not pause the game. For example, if the player has items being [[Minecraft:smelt]]ed in a furnace, pressing the pause button ({{key\|Esc}} by default) does not stop the smelting process. [[Minecraft:Mob]]s and entities don't pause and continue to work regardless, and even attacking the player. Although, in {{JE}}, server [[Minecraft:operator]]s can simulate pausing by using {{cmd\|tick freeze}} command. In this state, non-player characters and interactions such as [[Minecraft:physics]], [[Minecraft:Daylight cycle\|daylight]] and [[Minecraft:weather]] cycle, [[Minecraft:mob AI]] and movements, item [[Minecraft:smelting]], certain [[Minecraft:animation]]s, and other [[Minecraft:Tick#Game process\|actions]] are frozen. Players and player-ridden entities are still able to continue play, regardless if they are operator status or not.		Opening the game menu in multiplayer does not pause the game.

	In multiplayer mode, the [[Minecraft:locator bar]] is enabled and keeps track of other players' waypoints. This is absent in singleplayer, though {{in\|JE}}, it can be enabled manually for tracking [[Minecraft:entities]] using {{cmd\|waypoint}} command and {{attr\|waypoint_transmit_range}} attribute.
