How do I allow multiplayer on Minecraft?

ArizonaLee Crooker · Jun 8, 2025

I have two children and one of their accounts is not set to allow multiplayer. All they want to do is play Minecraft together on their tablet. I don’t have a PC. I don’t have windows. I don’t have an Xbox. How do I allow multiplayer!?

Hi Sa1ty,

Are you sure your Minecraft world settings do allow for multiplayer? I don't know what the default settings are, but maybe these do not allow for multiplayer?

Hopes this helps you!
