Minecraft bedrock edition won't allow me to join realms, but my Xbox settings are set to...

Hi there!

Are you using an Xbox console? If so, to play online and multiplayer, you must have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Check your subscription if you have one via https://account.microsoft.com/services.

I'm not subscribed, but I also don't even own an Xbox, I'm using a computer with Windows 10.

Hi

We have to use xbox Gamertag because we are playing on an ipad (Bedrock edition) & our Minecraft Gamertag is done via xbox. My privacy settings are set to allow invites but since I’ve ended up with 2 Gamertags on xbox account I log in but still come up as
“Offline” to my friends, so I cannot get their Realm invites or join their game.

To change the Minecraft Realm privacy for everyone, follow these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account.
Open the Xbox app and select “Minecraft.”
Select “Settings” and then “Privacy and security.”
Select “Change online privacy and security settings.”
Select “Everyone” to allow anyone to join your Realm, or select “Friends” to allow only your friends to join.
Save the changes.

Hey there! You're going to need to verify which version of Minecraft you have. There are two on the Xbox One that you could have.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is no longer supported. It's playable, but it can't be found in the Store and does not receive updates. This version of the game does not have Realms access.

Minecraft/Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition/Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (All just different names for the same game) is the version with Realms that are cross-compatible.

Java version (only available on PC) is not compatible with Xbox.

If your child's friend has the Realm set up on the correct version of Minecraft, you just need a Gold Subscription. Realm hosts pay the monthly fee to keep the Realm online. The friend will need to invite your friend/add them as a Realm member from their
Xbox or PC, then your child will receive a little envelope thing on their Minecraft menu. That is the Realm invitation. Once that's accepted, they should be able to join the Realm.
