Beta Version

check if your version is the full version, not the beta version. The beta version does not have this specific function that you want.

I also have both versions of Minecraft and got the newest version for free due to having the Minecraft Xbox One Edition.

If you un-enrol from the beta version you will have to reinstall Minecraft to get the version that isn't part of the beta programme. You won't be charged for the game, the only change will be that you won't be able to go on the worlds that you previously
created or saved on the beta version since it will have the beta features.

If you ever decide that you would like to play the beta version again, you can join the beta programme on the Xbox Insiders Hub then reinstall the game again to have the beta version.

Hope this helps and happy mining

Hi there! Are you or your friend in the Insider Program and using the Beta for Minecraft? The Beta version is on a different version of the game to help test for future updates, and makes it impossible to connect to players who are not using the Beta version.

Hello there!

Please try checking this link Xbox Insider Program FAQ | Xbox Support for more information on the Beta programs. If this issue is only with the game Minecraft, then you might need to contact the game support, so that they can help you fix the issue.

According to https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Bedrock_Edition_beta_1.13.0.1 it seems you opted in to recieve BETA updates to Minecraft.

As Beta versions are test versions and might contain unstable code, public servers do not update to Beta versions.

So if you wish to use public servers, make sure you only use non-Beta versions of Minecraft. If necessary, un-enroll from the Minecraft Insider Beta program, and wait until the next official update, or uninstall and re-download the latest public non-beta
version of Minecraft.
