Use your own hotspot?

Can you share mobile data via hotspot and use your own hotspot yourself? Since you need a Wi-Fi connection in Minecraft so that you can play online or on a server.

You can use your own hotspot, but not with the device with which you output the signal.

Clear. If you mean that you release the mobile network of your cell phone as a hotspot and then connect it to a laptop (or other device), then there are no problems.

Just make sure that you have a data flat rate, otherwise it can be expensive.

PS: If you play the game on the phone yourself, you only have to activate the sharing for mobile data use. Then you don't need Wi-Fi.

It depends on the smartphone used.

There it does not need it, there it is already connected via the regular network ;-) why should a device receive a signal that it sends itself?

I actually asked if I could use my own hotspot

Ga

I don't normally get into Minecraft PE servers

Ri

Yes, just not with your own cell phone. Doesn't make sense either. The game on the phone works without Wi-Fi - you just have to activate mobile data sharing.

Op

He has mobile data and would like to use it in the hotspot himself so that he has Wi-Fi.

Za

That's fine. But it depends on the smartphone and which model you have. Mobile WLAN or hotspot or also called WLAN to go is good and useful. However, it is a pity because of the data volume. You can set this in the phone under Tethering WLAN to go or under Mobile Tethering Hotspot.

I just had to find that out.

But he himself doesn't seem to know exactly how it works with the networks. The game does not care whether it is connected to the Internet via WLAN or mobile data - the main thing is that it is connected. The user only needs to activate mobile data sharing so that the game can access the server. In this sense, this is more of a problem with the app or system settings of the cell phone.
