    Minecraft multiplayer not working for child account though all setup done



    Minecraft multiplayer not working for child account though all setup done [​IMG]
    Hi, I’m the family admin and one of kids accounts at PC (latest Win) doesn’t allow multiplayer at Minecraft - despite all si set in Xbox settings. As well he is part of the family 365 subscription but his account only shows 5gB free space (while 1TB shared should be the case)

    What to do to allow him playing Minecraft in multiplayer and he sees all benefit of family 365 subscription?

    Thanks

    M

    :)

    Minecraft multiplayer not working for child account though all setup done

    Hi, thanks but I’m relatively experienced user. So I was aware of all above and a few more.

    So for multiplayer games all is set as necessary in Xbox safety settings - either to allowed / all or not filtered.

    We have waited 24 hours after setting change, we’ve logged him out from Minecraft launcher and back in. But still he sees for both Java/bedrock multiplayer locked…

    In 365 subscription management he is added of course.

    But still it doesn’t work.

    There is sthg wrong somewhere else.

    Can someone check the account sync with family setting is proper as it should work according to settings set. But it doesn’t…

    Thanks

    Michal

    Last option I see is to remove him from family and then add him back in, but I leave it as literally last option…

    Family Account: How to Subscribe to PC Game Pass using Son's Account?

    > Hello again Matt, this is really weird, but to make a purchase through your child's account, you have to add a billing address and also your credit card and with that make the purchase.

    I know. I've done all this before. His account has my CC already setup and he's requested Minecraft in the past and it all worked fine.

    It's just not working for this. When I try, it specifically says that PC Game Pass cannot be requested for purchase this way.

    Multiplayer Minecraft not working because of Microsoft Account Setup even though the setup is fine

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    If your account and privacy settings are setup correctly this may mean that you don’t have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription which is required to play a paid online multiplayer game such as Minecraft.

    Can you please check what subscription you have? It’s either Xbox Live Gold subscription or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and not Game Pass for Console.

    “Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.”
