Help! My Xbox One S cannot join my Windows 10 computer on Minecraft via LAN!

Voltaicmimic · Aug 8, 2021

Hello, reader! My problem is that whenever I have Minecraft open on my Xbox One S, signed into an ADULT account (No Xbox Live), and I have my Windows 10 computer loaded into a Minecraft world on another account that is ALSO an ADULT account, my Xbox shows that there's "1" recognized server, but never lists it on the panel below (Where all of your other friends & LAN worlds would show up). As I said earlier, both accounts are ADULTS. I checked if the NAT status was open on both devices, they ARE open (On my Windows 10 Desktop, I had to hit the "Fix" button though because it said something about a Teredo server or something like that). Oh, and my Windows 10 Desktop account also does not have Xbox live. If I were trying to connect to another person outside of my network on the Xbox, I do understand that I'd obviously have to have Xbox live, but that's not the case. This is all done via LAN, yet, my Xbox does not show the box to connect to my computers world. I have another computer (a laptop) and tried connecting to my laptop from my Xbox, but it's the SAME RESULT AGAIN! Any help would mean a lot. Thanks in advance.

Edit 1: Yes, I made sure that all Minecraft games were updated to the latest release (Not the beta).

Edit 2: I don't know if this would help anyone diagnose what it happening, but I've even started a PocketMine-MP server with the latest software AND the official Minecraft Bedrock server software from https://minecraft.net but the Xbox was STILL having the same problem (And yes it did show the "1" in the friends tab).

Edit 3: Sorry for all the edits, but I also forgot to include the fact that my friends cannot join my computer from their own internet and they have Xbox live.

P.S if you need more information, I will gladly supply you with the needed info.

Got it, mate. Honestly, I'm out of ideas of what it might be. I recommend contacting Mojang directly so they can help you further in this, mate.

Hi, SammyGomes1!

I'm doing great! Thank you for asking.

I actually have tried all of these & made sure I met all the requirements. But I'm also on PC which should not require Xbox Live to play with friends. Again, my Xbox nor my friend's Xbox can join my PC.

Has the Minecraft “Better Together” update prevented some cross-platform group play? It seems that the answer is YES. My children now cannot play in the same Minecraft world, one via Windows 10 PC and one via Switch. The Switch player keeps getting
an "Outdated Client" message when trying to join, despite being able to see the other player's status in the cross-platform dialog box. The Minecraft Switch software is up-to-date.

I changed my settings to "allow to join or create a club".
