Hi Wyatt, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

You can enable the multiplayer for Minecraft from the Xbox Family Settings app on your mobile device.

To download the Family App: https://www.xbox.com/apps/family-settings-app

Click on the Account Name > Settings (The cog on the top right) > Multiplayer > Allow

Then, on the same window, under Cross-play:

Allow Crossplay

Allow Communication with Friends

On the bottom of the page, Clubs > Allow (For Minecraft Realms).

Then, to enable cross-play, we need to go to your account privacy settings.

Please, enter this site: https://account.xbox.com/settings

On the Privacy Tab options:

"See other people's Xbox Live profiles" > Set it to either Everyone or Friends

"You can see and upload community creations" > Set it to either Everyone or Friends

"You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" > Set it to Allow

Click Submit.

Then, switch over to the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab.

Set the options below to Allow:

"You can play with people outside of Xbox Live"

"You can join multiplayer games"

"You can add friends"

Don't forget to click on "Submit" to save the settings.

I hope this helps.

Hey, so I bought minecraft from minecraft.net about like 6 years ago. My friend wants to cross-platform with me, and whenever I go to the microsoft store, "Minecraft" isn't in my Library, even though the account is still associated with it. Do I
really have to purchase Minecraft (Microsoft edition) separately in order to be able to cross platform with my friend?

Hey philip

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently inquiring about how to use multiplayer features across different platforms in Minecraft.

You must first verify that your Microsoft accounts are correctly configured. You must first make sure that your

Privacy and online safety settings are allowing Multiplayer. Additionally, make sure that you configure the

cross-play option to allow play between different platforms.

There is an article that you can view
here that comes from the Mojang website, that covers how to set-up Multiplayer on your device.

Give this a try and let us know if this works for you!
