I can't enable multiplayer on Minecraft: Java

Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and an Xbox gamer. Hope you are doing well!

When you said you tried to manage your account, did you use a parent account or organizer to remove the restriction? With regards to your issue, a parent account is the only one who can change the settings or date of birth of a child's account. Since your account must have been created as a child we will need to have a parent supervised it. Let me guide you how:

1. You will need an alternate account that will serve as a parent. If you don't have one you can create at https://signup.live.com page.

2. Using the parent account sign in via https://account.microsoft.com/family page and add your Xbox email address or account as a Member/Child.

3. Accept the invitation using your Xbox account email.

4. Using the parent account, go to the https://account.microsoft.com/family page again to manage the child account.

5. Under the child account, click elipsis or 3 dots button and choose the Manage option.

There you may change the date of birth of your main account and remove any restrictions. After doing the steps above, I suggest to also have the organizer account to remove restrictions on your main account via https://account.xbox.com/en-gb/Settings/Home . Once done, just restart your console/device and check if there are still restrictions.

I hope the above steps work for you but if not, please do let us know so we can try to assist you with the best of our knowledge.

Kind regards,

Ben

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with multiplayer on Minecraft Java Edition. It is possible to enable multiplayer on Minecraft Java Edition. Here are some steps you can follow:
1. Launch any web browser and open the official Microsoft website.
2. Log in to the account that has been used to purchase Minecraft Java Edition.
3. Click on your name displayed in the top right corner and click on “My Microsoft account”.
4. Access the privacy settings for Xbox and toggle the Allow/Block option to enable multiplayer in games.

I hope this helps.

Please note this is an Xbox Community Forum. We will most likely assist you based on the Xbox point of view. If you require assistance strictly Minecraft, then it would be best to contact Minecraft support.

tried that, didn't work, which was very weird. So Im thinking about getting a new Java account soon.

Hi Beavis125, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

For you to manage it you can simply sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings.

If the system detects that your account is a child account you will be redirected to a support site and if not you will be able to change it successfully.

If you were redirected to a support page, please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/family and check if there is an organizer account linked to your account then use the organizer account so sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings then "allow" the setting on this screenshot:

Thi still isn't fixed. I want to play Minecraft Java on Hypixel.net but I can't access multiplayer and on minecraft.net when I go to my profile it asks to buy Minecraft. Hey Microsoft please fix this.
