how do i set up minecraft multiplayer with microsoft

Hey philip

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently inquiring about how to use multiplayer features across different platforms in Minecraft.

You must first verify that your Microsoft accounts are correctly configured. You must first make sure that your

Privacy and online safety settings are allowing Multiplayer. Additionally, make sure that you configure the

cross-play option to allow play between different platforms.

There is an article that you can view
here that comes from the Mojang website, that covers how to set-up Multiplayer on your device.

Give this a try and let us know if this works for you!

Hello WinMichal,

Considering that this has to do with being seen within the game itself, we suggest following the steps provided on
this (How to play multiplayer Minecraft: Pocket Edition) page that covers the basics of setting up
a multiplayer game within the PE edition of Minecraft.

Try following this for us and then let us know if this helped.

Best wishes!

Hi there Nebojsa K.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues playing Minecraft multiplaye.

Let's go through a comprehensive list of potential issues and solutions to get you connected.

Verify Microsoft Account Settings
Ensure your Microsoft account settings allow multiplayer gaming:

Go to Microsoft's Privacy & Online Safety settings. Ensure that settings under "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety" are set to allow multiplayer gaming. Look for options like "Join multiplayer games" and make sure they are set to "Allow."
Check if there are any content restrictions on your account that might block multiplayer access.

Check Minecraft Account Settings
Make sure your Minecraft account is correctly set up:

If your account is part of a family group, verify that parental controls aren’t restricting multiplayer access. You might need to log in to the parent account to change these settings.

Update Minecraft
Ensure that your game is up to date:

Open the Minecraft launcher and check for any available updates. Having the latest version is crucial for multiplayer compatibility.

Check Your Network Configuration
Network issues can often be the culprit:

Your network's NAT type (Network Address Translation) should ideally be set to "Open" or "Moderate." Strict NAT types can restrict multiplayer capabilities. You can check this setting on your console or PC.
For optimal multiplayer performance, you may need to set up port forwarding on your router. Minecraft typically uses port 25565, but the required ports might vary based on your setup and platform.

Enable Multiplayer on Minecraft Settings
Ensure multiplayer is enabled in-game:

Open Minecraft, go to "Settings" -> "Profile," and ensure that the "Multiplayer Game" option is toggled on.
Make sure the multiplayer settings in-game are configured correctly. Check for any settings that may be restricting multiplayer access.

Reinstall Minecraft
Uninstall Minecraft, then download and install it again from the official website or store.
