I cant Join Realms or servers in minecraft Bedrock edition (pc)

Minecraft for Windows, as it is, cannot be used on Xbox consoles. However, Minecraft for Windows is essentially Minecraft Bedrock Edition, which is the same edition used on Xbox consoles. That's why, for example, the Realms in Minecraft for Windows are the same as Minecraft Bedrock for Xbox consoles. In contrast, Minecraft Java Edition Realms are exclusive to PC and only accept Java Edition players.

This is why most servers, even if they are third-party, have the same player compatibility system. It's highly likely that the server you're trying to access is intended for the Java version of Minecraft. That's why it doesn't allow you to log in from the Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock) edition, while it does allow access from the Java edition of the game.

It's essential to clarify that "Minecraft for Windows" refers to Minecraft Bedrock, but that's how Mojang decided to name it on the PC platform, which can lead to confusion.

I hope this explanation clarifies things for you. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to ask.

It seems to me that possibly the problem is more focused on the compatibility of the server with the edition of Minecraft you use. Minecraft Java Edition servers do not accept Minecraft Bedrock players, or vice versa. It is the same thing that happens with Minecraft Realms, for example. There are separate Realms for each edition of the game for the simple fact that both editions are different and not compatible with each other.

Thank you very much, it is now working, i didnt realise date and time could affect it

I’m glad to hear it is now working, Shea!

Yes, it is important to make sure your time is correct so you can connect to services.

Hello Shea,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I apologize for a delay in response.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Is your Bedrock Edition on the latest version?

Please try doing this: Close your Minecraft Launcher. Go to your PC Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time > Enable "Set time automatically". Go to additional settings and select "Sync now".

After that, please open your Minecraft Launcher and sign in your Microsoft account. Open Bedrock and check if you're still having the same error.

You can also try resetting the launcher. Go to PC Settings > Apps > look for "Minecraft Launcher" > Advanced settings > Repair and Reset.

If the issue will persist, please try to reach out to Minecraft support. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new...

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,
