Connection issues relating to the Hive Network (Minecraft Bedrock)

The issue here is related to platform licensing differences, Minecraft Bedrock Edition on mobile (tablet) and Bedrock Edition on Windows PC are technically separate purchases, even though they’re both part of the Bedrock ecosystem.

If you want to play on both devices, you’ll need to purchase Minecraft for Windows separately.

Hi there ConnorD6183.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues playing Bedrock Minecraft.

Troubleshooting Error Code BAT in Minecraft Bedrock
Error code BAT in Minecraft Bedrock typically indicates a problem related to account authentication or connectivity issues, often specifically related to the Xbox app or the Microsoft account used for logging in. Here’s a guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Verify Xbox App and Microsoft Account Integration
Make sure you are logged into the Xbox app with the same Microsoft account that you intend to use for Minecraft. Sometimes, multiple accounts can cause conflicts.
Try logging out of the Xbox app and then logging back in to refresh the session. Sometimes session tokens can expire or become invalid.

Check for App Updates
Ensure that you have the latest version of the Xbox app installed. An outdated app can cause compatibility issues.
Check if there are any updates available for Minecraft Bedrock itself and install them.

Check System Compatibility and Updates
Ensure your operating system is up to date. Sometimes, system updates include fixes that resolve issues with game and app interactions.
Open the Microsoft Store, go to the "Downloads and updates" section, and check for any available updates for the Xbox app or any related services.

Reset Xbox App
Resetting the App:
Go to Settings > Apps.
Find the Xbox app in the list and select it.
Click on Advanced options.
Click on the Reset button.

Check Network and Firewall Settings
Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes switching from Wi-Fi to a wired connection can resolve connectivity issues.
Check your firewall or antivirus settings to ensure that they are not blocking the Xbox app or Minecraft Bedrock. Allow both apps through your firewall.

Clear Microsoft Store Cache
Clear Cache:
Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type wsreset and press Enter. This will clear the Microsoft Store cache and can resolve issues related to app downloads and updates.

Reinstall Xbox Services
Reinstall Services:
Open Settings > Apps.
Find Xbox Identity Provider and uninstall it.
Reinstall Xbox Identity Provider from the Microsoft Store.
Ensure you also have Gaming Services installed from the Microsoft Store.

Check Time and Date Settings
Time Synchronization: Incorrect time and date settings can cause authentication errors. Ensure that your time and date settings are accurate and synchronized automatically with an internet time server.

Reinstall Minecraft Bedrock
Reinstallation Steps:
Uninstall Minecraft Bedrock.
Go to the Microsoft Store and reinstall Minecraft Bedrock.
Launch the game and attempt to log in again.

I hope this helps.

I shall be here for your response. -Lumie

Hi interlud.e,

Greetings!

Thank you for publishing in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're experiencing issues with playing Minecraft Bedrock on PC and joining your friend's server. I'll be happy to assist you with this issue.



Firstly, I would like to ask if you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription? Xbox Live Gold is required to play multiplayer games on Xbox and PC. If you don't have an active subscription, you won't be able to join your friend's server or play with them.



If you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, then the issue might be related to your network settings. Please ensure that your network settings are configured correctly and that your NAT type is set to Open. You can check your NAT type by going to the Network settings on your Xbox or PC.



If your NAT type is not set to Open, you may need to forward some ports on your router. You can find the list of ports that need to be forwarded on the Xbox support website.

Check Privacy Settings: Make sure your privacy settings allow communication from cross-platform

Disable Antivirus Software: Some antivirus software may block some features in Minecraft so that you can encounter connection issue.



If the issue persists, you can try reinstalling Minecraft Bedrock on your PC. To do this, go to the Microsoft Store, search for Minecraft Bedrock, and select "Install".

2. Double-check your login credentials (username and password) to make sure they are correct.
   
3. If you're using a Microsoft account to log in, ensure that your Microsoft account is in good standing and not locked or suspended.
   
4. Try restarting the Minecraft Bedrock application and attempt to log in again.
   
5. If the issue persists, consider resetting your Microsoft account password and then attempting to log in with the updated password.
