    I cannot play minecraft multiplayer even though it is enabled in my xbox settings


    Everything is enabled in my xbox family account, but Minecraft still keeps telling me multiplayer is disabled and I have to check my account settings. I checked all my settings again, but it shows multiplayer is enabled. I read through everything on the support pages on the websites of both minecraft and xbox, but they only tell I have to enable it in my account settings. Checked my settings once again, it says multiplayer is enabled. Also checked firewall settings but everything related to Minecraft is enabled. Is there a way to solve this? I don´t want to risk 30 euros by re-buying the game.

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues accessing multiplayer on Minecraft.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Keichi, with the error you are getting it means that the system has detected that you own a child account.

    Because when it was created a child account was saved on its birthdate.

    Even if there will be changes on the birthdate the system will still recognize the first birthdate that's on the account.

    But there is no need for you to worry because there is a way for the account to act like an adult.

    And that is through adding a parent account/ organizer account.

    Do you have an organizer already added to your account?

    Please give us an update. Thank you very much.

    I can't enable Minecraft Multiplayer even though I enabled it in settings.

    Yes!

    Also, I noticed that going back to an earlier version, like 1.70, the multiplayer feature seems to work.

    I can't enable Minecraft Multiplayer even though I enabled it in settings.

    It may mean that it's the launcher itself. You can repair it by following the steps below:

    Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Search for the app > Advanced Options > Repair.
