Not being able to use multiplayer in Minecraft although having every setting on allow.

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:

“Join Multiplayer Games” Settings
If you have your settings set to block joining multiplayer games, you can’t join any multiplayer games in Minecraft, including shared local worlds, Realms or servers. To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, make sure this setting is set to ‘Allow.’

However, just like ASCllnaut, that setting was already turned on for my children. In other words I'm in the same boat, we can play on the LAN but not on a realm.

Hey Dark

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with being able to access multiplayer features on Minecraft.

In regards to this, is this occurring on "Minecraft" on the Xbox One, "Minecraft" Pocket Edition, or Minecraft Windows 10 Edition"?

You mentioned that you have already allowed configured your Xbox Live Privacy settings, but unless your Xbox Live Gold subscription is not up-to-date, then configuring those settings would be the only thing that would allow you to play
online.

I would recommend that you make sure that you
Xbox Live Privacy settings are currently set to "Adult" defaults as this should help resolve the problem.

Give this one more try and let us know if this works for you.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you are having issues playing multiplayer in Minecraft and you are receiving an error message.

This error usually appears when your Xbox permissions are not configured properly.

1. Go to https://account.xbox.com/settings

2. Login using your Microsoft account with Minecraft.

(if it doesn't say it and directs you to the website, make sure you're signed in using the correct email)

Note: If you don't have an Xbox account, it will ask you to make one, so make any account.

3. If you scroll down, under your username and Avatar it should say "Xbox one/windows 10 online safety" click on that

4. Scroll down until you see "You can join multiplayer games" allow or block,

Select "Allow" to enable multiplayer in your account

Relaunch Minecraft and you should be able to join any multiplayer server.

Once done, you may sign back in to Minecraft and should be able to play multiplayer.

Important: If you just recently configured this setting, please allow at least few hours for the new settings to reflect to all Microsoft servers. You may try to sign out and sign back in to your Minecraft to resync your profile.

Regards,

Alvaro
