    I am unable to join Minecraft realms "stories" or view chat messages


    when I follow the link on the error message ("Oops! You need permissions first), it takes me to a website on how to change my child’s permissions (I am in my 20s and the only person in my Minecraft family). However, I am the organizer in my "family” and can’t see a way to change any setting related to realms. I have seen the solution is to ensure you are over 18 on your Minecraft profile because it might think you am a minor - I have done that and I am still not seeing how to change the setting. Any help would be appreciated

    :)

    Hello SamanthaMartin4,

    Thank you for contacting the Xbox support forums. Can you please provide more details regarding Minecraft? Are you searching for a Minecraft Realms invite from a friend? In case you are attempting to join a Realm, you can find details on how to find an invite under "Joining Someone's Realm" Minecraft Realms - How do I Join Someone's Realm

    We look forward to your response!

    No puedo añadir realms en minecraft pe [Translation-I can not add realms in minecraft pe]

    Hi Problema con realms,

    From the
    Minecraft Realms
    menu within Minecraft, you can view a list of Realms that are available to you. Each Realm that you join first requires an invitation, indicated by the flashing mail icon. Once accepted, that player's Realm will be available to you. Be
    sure that you have the latest public release of the game.

    A Realm's current status is indicated by the colored dot next to it: green means that the Realm is open and available to join, yellow shows that it expires soon and red indicates that the Realm has expired or has been closed by the owner.

    If you're having trouble accepting invites or joining Realms, be sure that you are not using a modded game client, and are not using a resource pack that does not contain textures for the Realm buttons. If you are, switch to the standard Minecraft game
    client, click Options, click Resource Packs, then return to the default.

    I hope this helps!

    Unable to join Minecraft Realms

    Hey CG thanks for keeping us in the loop!

    Since it hasn't been addressed yet we would like to add that a Microsoft Account once set up as a child has no way of graduating or upgrading to an adult account if it hasn't reached the legal age on its own. We suggest adding the account in question to
    a
    family
    and changing the settings from the adult account to see if there is any changes and keep us posted so we can further assist in this or any other issue or inquiry!
    Thanks for helping me out. The account is already a part of a family. The adult account has the same settings enabled as mine and can join realms.
