    What could be causing Minecraft Multiplayer to be randomly disabled on my account despite...


    Hello,

    I’ve been experiencing recurring issues with Minecraft Multiplayer over the past three to four weeks. On some days, I’m able to play without any problems, but on other days, the Multiplayer option is suddenly disabled.

    I’ve already verified multiple times that Multiplayer is enabled in my Microsoft account settings, and my account is not classified as a child account (I also confirmed this with Microsoft Support).

    This issue happens inconsistently — sometimes Minecraft works fine, but usually, by the next day, Multiplayer is disabled again. This has become extremely frustrating, as I never know in advance whether I’ll be able to play.

    At this point, I’m quite frustrated with the ongoing problems and would really appreciate any help or guidance to resolve this once and for all.

    Thank you in advance for your support.

    :)

    Cant Play Minecraft Multiplayer After Account Migration

    Hi,

    I have the same issue as the original poster. I changed all my account settings, I have also created a dummy parent account and then changed the settings through that and it still did not work. I tried re-installing the game and it didn't work.

    I had a friend who has an organiser account and he tried to disable multiplayer on it. He disabled multiplayer in Xbox settings but was still then able to access it in game.

    I believe there is an issue with the update system between Minecraft and Xbox privacy settings.

    Could you perhaps give me idea as to if this is an issue you guys could possibly fix?

    How do you type in the code in

    If you create a world in Minecraft you could choose on the multiplayer part if it should be open, just Friends or disable it. You don´t need a code to do that...

    Minecraft won’t let me play multiplayer

    Hello. When i hover over where it says multiplayer in the minecraft main menu it says “multiplayer is disabled, please check your Minecraft account settings.” Which I also have done. I bought the Java edition for windows.

    I don’t remember what options I changed because I just say everything on allow and adult default.

    Why is multiplayer in Minecraft disabled on my account

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    To enable that option, please login at this link

    https://account.xbox.com/Settings

    And in the part of "Xbox and Windows 10 devices Online Safety" set all features related to multiplayer, communication and friendship to "Allow".

    If it won't let you log in to set up your account, there may be two reasons.

    1. The date of birth of your account is underage, check it in this link:

    https://account.microsoft.com/profile

    2. You are a member of a family group, check it in this link

    https://account.microsoft.com/family/home

    If you are a minor, you must enter a family group and the family group administrator must configure your account in the same way that I indicated initially.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.
