    Why am I receiving an error indicating parental restrictions are preventing multiplayer for...


    Hello:

    Hoping someone has run into and solved the following issue I'm encountering. I have a PS5 and Switch version of Minecraft with two microsoft profiles for my kids (one is under my name as an adult). I've managed to get to play online together between the two systems, but on occasion - usually after a break, my Switch profile (associated with my 8-year-old) will get the message indicating that they are unable to play multiplayer due to parental restriction. I know this is not true because not 1 hour prior we were playing together. It seems as the system bugs out? I have been able to resolve the issue after signing in and out, putting the switch to sleep, etc., but I don't know what, if anything I did, actually fixed the issue. What's clear at the very least is it reoccurs and I have no idea how to resolve it.

    Thanks again!

    :)

    Why am I receiving an error indicating parental restrictions are preventing multiplayer for Minecraft even after having played multiplayer?

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with multiplayer access to Minecraft.

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

    This is one of those intermittent glitches where Minecraft’s synchronization with Microsoft’s parental control system temporarily “forgets” that your settings are permitting multiplayer.

    And when the Switch’s session goes idle or you take a break, it might be revalidating the account permissions with Microsoft’s servers, and that process gets out of sync. That is why signing out and then back in or putting the console to sleep seems to fix it briefly wherein it forces a refresh with the parental settings.

    Since the organizer account has permitted the child account to be able to access multiplayer it should be working.

    If incase it happens again, kindly manage the privacy and security settings of the account using the organizer and toggle the multiplayer settings. Make sure it is "Allowed" and then submit the changes.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    An Xbox Live Membership limitation does not allow you at access this feature

    I am a minor, but I am on custom, and I have allowed everything (multiplayer, going online, etc.) No parental restrictions.

    Why cant a person sell a car from auction house if he has a child account?Is there something bad for children?
    Far as I know, there is no restriction on that in the game...more likely, the child account has some parental restrictions preventing it

    "hide listings in search, stores & apps" impacts ALL accounts

    I believe this is to prevent signing into another account to bypass any restrictions.

    A possible future implementation could be to just require the parental control code to access content that is normal restricted. But currently a global impact is the only way parental controls will work.

    Demos, trailers and certain games multiplayer modes have age restrictions on them thus preventing them from being accessed by minors. No matter what adjustments are made via Family/Parental Settings those will be unavailable by
    default and can not be changed until the account reaches the appropriate age.
