Disabling everything except for my primary interface and Bluetooth interface made Minecraft immediately recognize the open LAN game.
For a scanning tool meant to make LAN games more convenient to join, disabling all of my interfaces every time I want someone in my house to join my game is in no way convenient.
@gs007: I totally agree with you. This seems like it should be a really simple fix. As people have started using VPNs or Hamachi more regularly, Minecraft shouldn't be selecting a single interface to broadcast (or listen) on. I too remember having no issues with LANs automatically showing up in the server browser pre-1.9.
Hey Paul, could you give me a step-by-step process of how you solved this in layman's terms?
how long did it take to reappear? was it back at the spot of death or straight into the inventory?
can confirm, I was confused when it played the challenge complete sound, hope they fix this as I was looking forward to doing it regularly

Before you know it they're going to mark this as 'resolved' and claim that it's a 'feature' in the game; present for the last 8+ years to teach the children of the world the basics of IPv4 networking, ports, and firewalls so they can play with their siblings.
Unfortunately, I don't think that this experience is unique as I was around 10-12 when I first experienced this issue while trying to play with my brother. It was likely the first time I was introduced to IPv4 networking. I'm currently pursuing a degree in IT, so ... it's possible my journey to majoring in IT was started by this bug. Talk about a legacy for a 'priority low' bug. 🤔
