For Minecraft I can join a server but not a realm

“Join Multiplayer Games” Settings
If you have your settings set to block joining multiplayer games, you can’t join any multiplayer games in Minecraft, including shared local worlds, Realms or servers. To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, make sure this setting is set to ‘Allow.’

However, just like ASCllnaut, that setting was already turned on for my children. In other words I'm in the same boat, we can play on the LAN but not on a realm.

Hello SamanthaMartin4,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox support forums. Can you please provide more details regarding Minecraft? Are you searching for a Minecraft Realms invite from a friend? In case you are attempting to join a Realm, you can find details on how to find an invite under "Joining Someone's Realm" Minecraft Realms - How do I Join Someone's Realm

We look forward to your response!

If I may ask, what is the exact error or issue that you're experiencing? Also, what device are you using?

Hello Simrose1234,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I can see that you can't join servers on your Minecraft Bedrock Nintendo Switch. Here are some possible solutions that you can try:



- Restart your console and your server.

- Make sure both your game/console and the server are fully updated.

- Change your secondary DNS from 8.8.8.8 to 1.1.1.1 or vice versa.

- Enable cross play in settings.
