Family permissions for minecraft servers

You say your son is already added to your parental account on
https://account.microsoft.com/family, right?

If so, please go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings and sign in with your parent account.

You should see your son's account to be selectable.

Click on your son's account and change his online and privacy settings.

You will have three categories: Privacy, Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety and Xbox 360 Online Safety.

On the Privacy Tab, set the settings to what you want your son to be able to do online in general. But to be able to visit realms or other online players, he would have to be able to "See and upload community creations" (at least Friend's creations, if playing
on public servers he'll need the permission for everyone).

Save the settings you made on the Privacy tab, before you click on the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety settings.

There you need to allow at least the ability to "join multiplayer games".

Also save the settings.

If your son was signed in on the Laptop while the changes were made, he needs to sign out of the laptop and then sign back in.

Then your son should be able to play Minecraft online on the PC.

After you have allowed Minecraft in Family Settings you will need to log out from your MS account in Minecraft Launcher.
Then log back in and your account permissions should be refreshed.

Hello Shadowius2,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble launching Minecraft Launcher. To better assist you, I would like to ask you a few questions:



- How did you get permission from an adult in your family? Did you use the Xbox Family Settings app or the website?

- What happens when you try to launch Minecraft Launcher after getting permission? Do you see any error messages or codes?

- Have you tried restarting your Xbox console and checking for any updates?

Here are some steps you can try to fix it:

- Make sure you have the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher installed on your PC.

- Check your Microsoft Family settings and make sure you have permission to use the Minecraft Launcher app. You can do this by going to https://account.microsoft.com/family/ and signing in with your Microsoft account. If you don't see the Minecraft Launcher app listed, you may need to ask an adult in your family to add it to your allowed apps.

- If you have permission to use the Minecraft Launcher app, try signing out and signing back in to your Xbox Live account on the launcher. You can do this by clicking on your profile picture in the top right corner and selecting "Sign out". Then, click on "Sign in" and enter your Xbox Live credentials.
