Can't enable Minecraft Multiplayer

Yeah it would be awesome to enable multiplayer on some games without the need to have Xbox Live

Like Fortnite for instance. So many young gamers on there who can't afford the subscriptions. Even Minecraft would be awesome as a free multiplayer zone

Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and an Xbox gamer. Hope you are doing well!

When you said you tried to manage your account, did you use a parent account or organizer to remove the restriction? With regards to your issue, a parent account is the only one who can change the settings or date of birth of a child's account. Since your account must have been created as a child we will need to have a parent supervised it. Let me guide you how:

1. You will need an alternate account that will serve as a parent. If you don't have one you can create at https://signup.live.com page.

2. Using the parent account sign in via https://account.microsoft.com/family page and add your Xbox email address or account as a Member/Child.

3. Accept the invitation using your Xbox account email.

4. Using the parent account, go to the https://account.microsoft.com/family page again to manage the child account.

5. Under the child account, click elipsis or 3 dots button and choose the Manage option.

There you may change the date of birth of your main account and remove any restrictions. After doing the steps above, I suggest to also have the organizer account to remove restrictions on your main account via https://account.xbox.com/en-gb/Settings/Home . Once done, just restart your console/device and check if there are still restrictions.

I hope the above steps work for you but if not, please do let us know so we can try to assist you with the best of our knowledge.

Kind regards,

Ben

The problem isn't that i can't enable the multiplayer in family thing, it's that after i enabled multiplayer it still wouldn't allow me to play multiplayer.

Please, let us review if all these options are enabled:

Using the Xbox Family Settings app on your mobile device, enable Multiplayer for Minecraft.

In the Xbox Family Settings app:

Go to Settings > In Enable Minecraft > Select Allow this game.

Turn on Multiplayer to let a member play online with others

Enable Clubs so that a member can create and join Minecraft Realms servers.

To download the Family App: https://www.xbox.com/apps/family-settings-app

Hello יובל, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

If you'd like to grant further access to your child's account then you can do so via https://xbox.com/family or via the Xbox Family app on your mobile device. Once changes have been made then the account will need to be logged out and then back in again for them to take effect.

Please note that although you are allowing access to multiplayer some games still have further restrictions based on age. For that you would need to get in touch with their support team for child permissions.
