Can't join lan sever (Minecraft) due to my accounts privacy

Ashley Bandit · May 9, 2023

Everytime i try to join a Minecraft lan server or launch one it tells me i need to change my privacy in my Microsoft account but it's all public and still doesn't work? I've searched other forms but there's no answers. Please help!

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

Can you please sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings and from there make sure that these settings are set to “allow” or “everyone”:

* You can see and upload community creations

* You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text

* Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

* You can play with people outside of Xbox Live

* You can create and join clubs

* You can join multiplayer games

Make sure to hit “submit” when you made any changes.

Your friend needs to check if his account privacy and security allows for multiplayer gaming.

it only happens on minecraft, he can play online on other games, and he can play online on minecraft but only when people join him, he can't join others

Hey BrAxSAR

Thank you for confirming this additional info regarding the version of your game.

From the information you have provided to us, this doesn't seem to be an issue with your hardware, nor your actual network configuration.

At this time, we would encourage you to follow XBF Brad A link and create a thread on the Minecraft Forums so as to get properly catered assistance
in this, as here on the Xbox Forums, we do not have the necessary tools to assist in resolving this.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

1.14 is in beta still and yes, both my pc and Xbox are on 1.12.0. I have a Xbox live gold subscription. I looked on the forums but found nothing that solved my problem.

I looked through my firewall settings and everything looks like it will host the server fine. it's not blocking anything

Hello Braxsar,

Thanks for the update. I think Minecraft is up to 1.14 you may want to check on that. Also, both the Xbox and PC versions need to be up to date. If still having issues you can also check on the
Minecraft forums for similar issues, there may even be a fix posted there. Would look for you but I do not have access to that site.

Do you have an Xbox live subscription?

Thanks,

Brad
