My son and I have been playing Minecraft on iPad and Android tablet for a while now and have a Realm set up so that we can play with our friends online. We have had zero access issues getting onto the Realm.

We have just bought an Xbox One Console, installed Minecraft but neither of us can get onto Realms.

We get this message:

"You cannot play on Realms because of how you Microsoft Account is set up. This can be changed in your privacy and online safety settings on aka.ms/accountsettings"

My sons Microsoft account is an adult account.

My Microsoft account is an adult account.

We have our privacy and online safety settings set to allow multiplayer gaming and joining clubs which is what is recommended to get onto Realms. We've had no issue on the iPad or on the Android tablet.

We've checked all our setting over and over again via PC login into our Microsoft/Xbox accounts and these setting mirror the settings we see when we check our privacy and online safety setting on the Xbox console.

I re-iterate - allow multiplayer gaming and joining clubs - both required for Minecraft Realms.

What is restricting our access?

How do we resolve this?

It's infuriating!

N.B. Our accounts are totally separate - we don't use the Family settings and don't have a Family group set up. Just adding this to avoid people suggesting we need to change settings within Family settings as this is NOT set up.

I can,t create releams

Hello Chicken Nugget7768768,

Thank you for posting here in Xbox Forums, we hope you are doing fine.

We would like to confirm few things, may we confirm if you have issue playing with your sister? May we know if you have been ban?

If the answer is yes, here are the things you need to know before multiplayer and ban.

Multiplayer need to be allow by the organizer of your Microsoft account. Kindly ask your mom or parent or guardian or an adult to set up a Microsoft Family and add you and your sister as member. Then, the organizer of Microsoft Family which is your mom or parent or guardian or an adult will need to access this link to log-in to their Xbox profile: https://account.xbox.com/Settings

On Xbox profile, your organizer will need to set your account and your sister's account to allow you both to create and join clubs and multiplayer. Please see guide here: How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account – Home (minecraft.net)
