This Mom Needs Help...Multiplayer on same account?

Jacob Rigoberto
Hi, I'm "kinda" new to the whole Minecraft world, although I'm not too much of a noob...I know a heck of a lot more than I did last year lol. Anyways, my son wants to play multiplayer with me on our LAN (I just learned how to connect to it) But it says that I cannot connect because the name is already taken. Does this mean that we cannot play multiplayer on the same account? I even made a new profile to see if that does anything (I have no clue what profiles do).
So my question is this, do I have to buy another copy of Minecraft and create a new account just to play multiplayer with my son on our home network???
Thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it!

Remember that LAN can be quite unstable at times. A self-hosted server is free, but takes more work to set up. LAN should have no problems on an good network though.

I can't figure out why you would want to do that, unless you're aiming to be toxic.
Anyway, the question is answered, let's not get off topic, what everyone learned in maths is far from the topic at hand.

I see your question has been answered, but I figured I would explain profiles. Profiles are for creating different setting groups. For example "profile #1" could be a setting that you've created that tells your launcher to play version 1.6.4 with x mods while "profile #2" could be a setting you've created that tells your launcher to play version 1.8 without mods.
