Will Minecraft LAN with friend work if both have same mods installed?
I was wondering, if both me and my friend have the same mods and same versions of mods installed can we both play multiplayer locally?
Best Answer
Yes, but you have to have exactly the same mods, with all the exact same version numbers and configuration, except for some mods that are client-side only (e.g. minimaps, Optifine, MAtmos, etc.) which don't need to be the same or even present on both sides.
The best way to test this isn't to check every mod you have?—?the easiest way is to just try. Assuming you're using Forge to install Minecraft mods, any mismatch with the hosting player's Minecraft mods will be detected by Forge, and it will refuse their connection with a message telling them what they're missing or need to get rid of before trying to connect again.

Can you play modded Minecraft with friends on LAN?
There are many ways to play with friends, including LAN servers which allow you to connect with players who are on the same internet as you, Realms which allow you to play across the globe, and servers which is by far the most popular option as it allows you to play modded Minecraft with your friends.Do you have to have the same mods as a friend?
But yes, client-side mods (which tend to not be as major of a game changer) must be downloaded by individuals in order to use them. Some, like the emote wheel, are visible to everyone when the individual player uses them, but many are only visible to the individual. I wish other games made mod compatibility this easy.Do Minecraft mods work on multiplayer?
Because the Minecraft server software ignores custom content from the client side, most of the client mods which add new content to the game do not work in multiplayer unless a modification has also been installed on the server.Does Minecraft LAN work with the same account?
Minecraft servers authenticate each login and each user needs to have a unique and valid Minecraft ID. If, however, your goal is to just have all your kids (or friends) playing together on local area network (LAN) at your house, you do not need multiple paid premium accounts to do so.This Mod Allows You To Play Singleplayer With Friends - NO LAN

Answer 2
I think you should be able to. I think as long as all the players on the LAN have the same updates and mods they would be able to play together. But if one player has update 1.6 and the other had 1.5 it won't work.
Maybe check out this youtube video I found?

It will work if you use a program such as Hamachi--or even better Tunngle. Hope that helps...
