  1. How can I sign into a child's microsoft account on Minecraft?


    I have tried to sign back in on the nintendo switch with the eight digit code/ QR code method, but it just logs me into the parent account. After that, I tried signing out and signing back in several times as well as turning it on and back off again but nothing is working. Any advice?

    :)

    Hi Konstanty,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues purchasing Minecraft as a child.

    One of the alternative ways to purchase Minecraft is for your parent to sign into the Microsoft store and buy Minecraft as a gift, which will send a gift code to the email address associated with your account (child) account. You can then follow the instructions in the email to redeem the gift code in the Microsoft store and download and install Minecraft. See How to Give Minecraft as a Gift through Email for more information.

    How do I know if my Xbox account is a child’s or not

    Yes your Microsoft account and Xbox account is only one. Since Xbox is just part of Microsoft services so it is tied to one Microsoft email account.

    For the parent permission, try signing in on the link I provided. If you cannot sign in and it is asking for a permission then that means your account is a child. But if you can properly sign in, meaning your account is not a child. Kindly let us know how it goes when you tried signing in.

    Thanks!

    Minecraft on xbox one can't play realms no matter what I do

    My microsoft account is not a child account but it still has the same "error message" when I sign in with a child account. (I'm saying error message as in "you cannot play realms because of how your microsoft account
    is set up")

    Downloading Minecraft

    Hello,

    Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    May we know, do you have your own Microsoft account? We recommend creating a Family Group with both your Microsoft account and your fathers' account. Please check out this Minecraft Support article that details how to create a Microsoft Account/Family Group and how to manage settings for a child account.

    How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account – Home (minecraft.net)

    To download Minecraft: Java Edition, you will first have to install the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store on your computer. Be sure that you are signed into YOUR account (the child account) for this. If your father has set up the privacy permissions correctly, you should be able to download specific games/apps.

    When you have downloaded the Minecraft Launcher to your PC, you will be asked to sign into your Microsoft Account. Please sign into YOUR account, not as your father, and proceed. Again, if the Family Group is set up correctly you should have no issues doing this.

    When you are signed in, select "Minecraft: Java Edition" from the left panel and select "Install". This should start the download process.

    Having an Xbox with Minecraft on it should not interfere, as the Xbox Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) is different than Java Edition.

    If you have any additional questions about installation, or problems with the game, we recommend that you contact Mojang Support and submit a ticket.

    Adding friends on Minecraft PE

    Hi there MaryMom1,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with adding friends on Minecraft PE.

    The Minecraft sign in may use the Microsoft account credentials for the account. Sounds like this account may be in a family. Please take a look at the troubleshooting article:

    Change your child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings
    .

    Friends can join friends realms locally
    (this works if the friend is in the same area):

    • click settings
    • local server multiplayer
      • set setting : on

    How to add a friend on Minecraft PE:

    • On the home page
    • click sign in [bottom left]
    • sign in with Microsoft account
    • click on play
    • click menu
    • select friend
    • invite to game
    • send invite

    Take a look at this article:
    How to add new Xbox friends
    . If you need more assistance with Minecraft PE try taking a look at their

    support forums
    .

    Hope this helps. Let us know the results!
