Can't Access Minecraft Realms on Bedrock (PC)

lousyfinch · Nov 13, 2022

I've been attempting to access a realm in Minecraft for the past week.

I have:

Changed my settings to allow on "join multiplayer games" and "create and join clubs"

Uninstalled and reinstalled both Minecraft and the launcher

Restarted my computer

Again, I have enabled both settings that the help pages suggest to enable, yet continue to get the error message that I "need permission" to join the realm. Any help to fix this issue would be appreciated.

:)

Hey there! You're going to need to verify which version of Minecraft you have. There are two on the Xbox One that you could have.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported. It's playable, but it can't be found in the Store and does not receive updates. This version of the game does not have Realms access.

Minecraft/Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition/Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (All just different names for the same game) is the version with Realms that are cross-compatible.

Java version (only available on PC) is not compatible with Xbox.

If your child's friend has the Realm set up on the correct version of Minecraft, you just need a Gold Subscription. Realm hosts pay the monthly fee to keep the Realm online. The friend will need to invite your friend/add them as a Realm member from their
Xbox or PC, then your child will receive a little envelope thing on their Minecraft menu. That is the Realm invitation. Once that's accepted, they should be able to join the Realm.

You may be signed in under the wrong account since we have manage the settings successfully. Kindly sign out on the game and then sign back in to make sure.

Same as before - "You cannot play on Realms because of how your Microsoft Account is set up"

Did this, I'm still getting the same issue.

Thank you so much for the update and I am happy that it's working now.
