Hi T3rminator,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues playing Minecraft with your friends.

Please make sure that you and your friends' Minecraft versions are the same. Once confirmed that the versions are identical, log out from your account, close Minecraft then log back in. These steps usually work for most of these types of issues.

If the initial steps did not work, delete and re-add your friend from your friend's list. Let me know how it goes.

You will also need to ask your friends to configure their Xbox/Windows Online Safety settings to allow Minecraft to communicate over the Internet and make sure that the CLUBS and MULTIPLAYER settings are both set to ALLOWED.

Here's how to manager your online safety and privacy settings:

Sign in to your Microsoft account at Xbox.com.

Select your gamertag, and then select the More actions button (…).

Select Xbox settings, and then select Privacy & online safety. Because you're accessing sensitive info, you might have to enter your password or PIN.

Select either the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety tab or the Privacy tab.

Review the current settings and update any that you want to change, and then select Submit to save the changes.

Note: You must select Submit at the bottom of the page before leaving or switching to another tab. If you don't submit the changes before you move to the other tab, your changes won't be saved.

I want to make sure that you will get all the assistance that you need. If you followed all the recommended instructions but you're still experiencing this issue, I recommend that you submit a ticket directly to Minecraft support so you can be guided by Minecraft specialists.

In this way, we can be assured that your case will be logged, attended and monitored in a timely manner. Please use this link:
