    I'm trying to buy Realms but it is blocked by Family Settings


    Hi all, grateful for some guidance.

    I am the head of a Family Group and I'm trying to buy Realms for my child. The settings on my account are as per all the guidance (parental permission to purchase removed etc). It still comes up with the following error code: {"success":false,"failedValidations":[{"name":"PURCHASE_BLOCKED_BY_FAMILY_SETTING"}]}

    What do I have to do? I don't want to dismantle the Family group, or have to set up new accounts. I just want to buy Realms!

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm having this issue, and idk even how. I'm not part of a family, my account has never been anything but an adult account, and this issue is recent. I can't buy a Java realm because it says I don't have permission, like my money my card my game wasn't permission enough. Sometime it even throws an error, the error specifying it was blocked by family settings. Where tf are "family settings"? I can't find em on the xbox, on xbox.com, microsoft, accounts.live, I even downloaded the "family settings app" which had nothing. How do I fix this so I can make my purchase and move on?

    Hello Paul_D_UK,

    We hope you are doing well. Thank you for posting in Xbox Forums.

    We understand that you are trying to purchase Minecraft Realms and is unable to because of family settings error message. We would like to set your expectation that Community doesn't have the ability to check or handle account/refund concerns since we do not have the right tool to process such request. Since, this is close to Microsoft Family account issues, and we know how important this is for you and we would like to ask for few things.

    1. Are we on Minecraft website or Minecraft Launcher or Minecraft website when this error message prompted?
    2. Please check that you can access the Microsoft Family website: (click here). Let us know if your account is the organizer and your child's account is a member.
    3. Please follow this link: (click here) and sign in to your account. Let us know if you can see your gamertag and your child's gamertag.
    We look forward to your response.

    Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
