    It is not possible to connect to friends in MCPE. Why?


    We try to play with friends over MCPE with login via Xbox all the time in one world, but that does not work.

    - Sometimes the friends do not see that the hoster is online.

    - Sometimes the friends among friends see the player but can not join.

    - Sometimes friends may try to join, but each time it times out.

    - Sometimes the friends can try to join, you can see their character in the game. But you are still at the loading screen.

    - Sometimes the friends can try to join the friend, but again only the loading screen is visible. The hoster, however, sees the names of the players in the list, but no characters.

    Each participating friend tried to host. Everyone has the same problem situation!

    However, the pre-registered servers are all visible and accessible.

    :)

    We all have the same, latest version. Everything is as it should be.

    Before 01.05.2019 (may, 1st, 2019) it still worked.

    Hello there, Thank you for taking your time on posting this on forums!

    I am a Minecraft player myself but when it comes to playing it cross-platform, I'd recommend doing it through a
    Minecraft realm.

    I've had friends that own different consoles or devices when playing Minecraft. A friend of mine that played through another console was able to invite me to their realm and everything ran perfectly. A Minecraft realm was the option for me!

    Any questions, reply to this post.

    Hey Paddyy

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

    Just to confirm, you say you are playing Minecraft Pocket Edition, and you are trying to connect to someone using Minecraft on the Xbox One?

    I experienced a very similar issue with one of my buddies, except they were playing on the Switch. We had an open NAT type on our end, but my buddy had a differently "type" of connection [on the Switch you use Type A-F, these are NAT types just described
    differently from our systems]. They could connect to us, but we could not connect to them.

    Since Minecraft uses a "Peer-to-Peer"[P2P] connection, it is imperative that you make sure that whomever you are trying to connect to, has a stable and flexible connection.

    This can usually be achieved by connecting over Wi-Fi, but again has to carry the correct type of configuration.

    You can try using the Xbox One Multiplayer Game Solution wizard if you are trying to connect to someone on an Xbox One.

    The reason why you are able to always see the servers, is because of that very fact. They are servers that are hosting the game world for you, so should always be able to connect to them, and the only problems you might exhibit is lag due to your connection
    speeds.

    Alternatively you can try using a
    Realm
    . These are also hosted by the developers of the game, so it takes away all the hassle of trying to make sure you have compatible NAT types, however there is a monthly fee so take note of this.

    I hope this was able to clear up any confusion caused by this matter. Go ahead and try the wizard I provided in this post, and keep us updated!
