Joining worlds on MCPE

Jeremy McCullough · Nov 7, 2022

Hello.

Me and my brother have got MCPE from the app store and every time we try to join it says cannot connect, we are both signed in and neither are participating in BETA. We are on the same version and even type of phone. We also have our privacy and stuff set to allow on all of them. I am able to join realms (I do not know about my brother), and we can both join servers. Even when I am playing on xbox and we are on the same internet, and I try to join him or him me.

Please any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks!

:)

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Jeremy

I can advise you some things, but if the issue persists you may need to reach Mojang support

But first tell me:

A. Both are using the same wifi network or your brother lives in a different place?

B. If you don't live with him, double check your NAT type using your Xbox console (ask him to do the same)

Go to settings > general > network config

C. If you or him try to play with a different friend. something similar happens? or is this happening with your brother

D. What phone and OS version are you using?

E. Can be a bit dumb, but did you (and him) tried to re-add your brother as a friend inside the game?

Or tell me what did you tried so far to fix this

This is to avoid giving you the same troubleshooting steps

Wait, is there a way to convert the world into a MCPE world instead of transfering it?

Hi OriginSource, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Kindly reset your network connection by restarting it along with your mobile device.

You would have to connect to Xbox Live to play together. So the answer is yes, All local LAN Xbox's need Xbox gold to play together.

I'm not sure this correct... All LAN hosted worlds should not require Xbox Live to play. It's only over the Xbox network that this is required.

Just make sure your PC network is set to PRIVATE and not PUBLIC, but there is an open support case for this exact problem with the Xbox One version:
