I am trying to play on a multiplayer for Minecraft on the PC.
All it says in the multiplayer server menu is "Scanning for games on your local network". However, it never finds the server.
How can I make this work?

You need to add a server. The "scanning for servers" message is for LAN servers, which are servers hosted on your WiFi/other network.
Pretend we wanted to join the server Mineplex. I'd search for the IP, then enter what ever is there. The IP for Mineplex is hub.mineplex.com
.
We would go to Multiplayer and click Add Server. Type in a name in the first text box. Then, in the next box, type in the IP. Like I said earlier, the IP is hub.mineplex.com
. Once you type that in, press Done. Now, you can press the server and click Join to play on it!
