If you want a temporary multiplayer experience it is enough to open a single player world, then click on "Open to Lan" in the escape menu.

If you want to allow players outside of your local network to join, you can then also click "Open to Internet" which will attempt to set up an external connection to join your server from the internet. This is done by a technique called UPnP and has to be enabled on your internet router, which it often is by default. In short, we estimate there's about a 60% success chance that 'Open to Internet' works instantly without issues. If it doesn't you would need to set up a so called "port forwarding" on your internet router, which can be tricky and frustrating at times, unfortunately. You would need to forward TCP Port 42420 to your computer in that case. (Google 'Port forwarding' with the name or model of your internet router to find help.) | If you want to allow players outside of your local network to join, you can then also click "Open to Internet" which will attempt to set up an external connection to join your server from the internet.
