    When I set up the xBox, I had no idea what I was doing. It asked for an adult account, so I put my information in (which is linked to all my Microsft stuff, not just xBox - agian no idea). Then we entered the code for minecraft that came with the console.
    My two sons have each created their own accounts, but can't play minecraft unless they are logged into my account. I don't want them to have my password so if I can't jump up and run there and enter my passwod, they can't play. This is really frustrating
    that my kids can't play the xBox with the game that came with the console. Is there something we are not doing correctly? Can it be moved? Why can't my kids play the same game without buying two versions of the game? I just don't understand.

    :)

    Online game purchase

    Purchased Xbox One S for my son. Set up his account. Got the one that comes with Minecraft. I had to log in with my account to redeem the code for Minecraft. Now when He tries to sign in with his account, it won't let him play Minecraft because it says that
    only the account which purchased the game can play it. I already have a Family account set up and he is added. Trying to figure out how to let all members of the family account play games purchased online through redeeming code. Thanks so much!!

    Xbox Live

    When my son signs in to his account on his Xbox, it says he needs to purchase the Xbox Live subscription to play, which I've already done on my account. So, I've been signing in and letting him play under my sign-in, which means his screen
    time limits aren't in effect. How do I set it up to where he plays using his sign in? He's in my "family", so I must have something set up incorrectly.

    minecraft for kids ? looking for new friends !

    Hi. My 6y/o son loves minecraft on 360 but he only gets to play online when he's using my gold account. Is there a way to share a gold account in the family?

    Anyhow he experiencd playing with someone online yesterday and now keeps wondering why he doesn't have minecraft friends online. I hope it's ok to add up the gamertags above and feel free to add me as well so my son can have more minecraft buddies. Thanks!

    Configuration of Microsoft does not allowd to play on Realms

    ...He's playing on Minecraft. He does not need to sing in to play this. I suppose you mean log in and out from Microsoft account? Because if he's not logged in Microsoft account he still can play...
    There should be an option to sign into his Microsoft Account in the Minecraft Game.

    Without being signed in on his Microsoft Account in Minecraft, the game can't apply the online and privacy settings you set up in order to allow him to play online.

    If he's only playing locally on his own device, he can play without a Microsoft Account. But in order to play online on Realms or Servers, he needs to be signed in on this very device in the Minecraft Game.
