Friends aren't seeing my multiplayer world, constantly being told I've been logged out of...

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Seems like you have performed all the necessary steps, and in this case, it would be best to submit a request to the game support itself. You can submit a ticket here: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new

This is for normal worlds hosted on other devices on my local area network. I've tested hosting worlds on android tablets, android phones, ipads, and a dedicated bedrock server running on my PC. In all cases, the mobile devices are able to connect to other
multiplayer worlds on my LAN, but the XBox shows the "Your friends are not playing Minecraft right now" message despite being able to see the other worlds (as indicated by the count under the friends tab).

I have changed my privacy settings to friends only and I'm still getting spammed on xbox. I've checked to see if any of the spammers are on my friends' friends list and they aren't. I've checked the spammers profiles and they don't even have GS. Now how
in the world is this happening?

Is the map persistent? If I created an online map with some friends then I went offline could my friends carry on working on the map while I was away.

No, If you leave the world your hosting and log off, everyone in your game is kicked out of your world. And they can only join once you have logged back on and loaded your world.

However your save does remember where your friends last slept and what they had in their inventory (I've been telling my friends to store everything in their chests to be on the safe side).

It gets worse. Those who are my friends have also stopped chasing multiplayer games. For the last three years I've been trying to tantalize them into playing games that I think we would all like, but they're not biting.

Gears of War 3 Horde Mode and Dragon's Crown (PS3) have been the best multiplayer games I've ever played. I've played Halo and others, but they aren't memorable to me.
