    Changed Microsoft settings to allow multiplayer, but Minecraft doesn't recognize the change...


    Exactly like how the title says. I accidentally set my microsoft account to under 18. Even though I fixed it, it still didn't allow me to change my settings. So I made a microsoft family account under another email and allowed all permissions for minecraft for the account I needed, including multiplayer and including clubs, etc. Anything that wasn't allowed before was checked to allowed. I can clearly see in microsoft XBOX privacy and safety settings that multiplayer is checked to allow, but when I start up minecraft it still says its disabled.

    Hello,

    To change your Microsoft account privacy settings, sign in to the privacy & online safety page You can also make these changes on an Xbox One, Series X|S console or through the Xbox Family Settings app.

    When making any account changes, make sure to select “submit” to confirm and save these changes.

    Note: If you’re using a child account, you’ll need an adult in your family to sign in to their Microsoft account to change your privacy settings.

    To play Minecraft Realms, you need to allow the following settings:

    “You can play with people outside of Xbox Live”

    “You can create and join clubs”

    “You can join multiplayer games safety”

    Set the above settings to allow and you should be able to play online in Minecraft. Although if you encounter any issues with this, here is a Multiplayer troubleshooting page:

    Information on Minecraft multiplayer:

    I can’t join my friends Minecraft world and they can’t join mine either

    Check your privacy settings under your Microsoft account to see if it allows for multiplayer.

    The world you play on check to see if it is set to allow for multiplayer or not, it does sometimes seem to change that settings aswell.

    Cannot view or change Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety Settings

    I have tried with both Firefox and Edge. Same result.

    I changed my status in the family from Organizer to Member, and this allowed me to change my settings using the Xbox Family app logged in as the other organizer, but Minecraft is still saying my settings don't allow multiplayer.

    Please let your friend check their privacy settings under their Microsoft account to see if it allows for multiplayer.

    Also, check the world you play on to see if it is set to allow for multiplayer or not, it does sometimes seem to change the settings.
