Minecraft Bedrock Multiplayer options greyed out (Windows 10)

BUBBLEGUM846 · Apr 2, 2023

When I join a world and go to the multiplayer tab in the settings, it's all greyed out, I've check my Xbox account privacy settings and my Microsoft details and my birthday is correct and not tied to any kind of parent account that might exist which means Microsoft knows I'm over 18 so why can't I change my multiplayer options?

Hi BUBBLEGUM846 I'd love to help.

Sorry to hear about that, however, may I know if you can join public servers like Hive, etc? If so, can you try checking this specific privacy setting "You can see and upload community creations" and let me know what it is set to.

Your version IS different from hers. Her version is Java. Yours is Bedrock/Windows 10. Don't worry, this isn't compatible for multiplayer, it still the same. Try asking her to buy the Minecraft for Windows 10.

Good day

Has your friend only tried playing multiplayer with Minecraft or has he tried another game aswell?

There is also 2 versions of the game on Xbox.

Minecraft: Xbox one edition

And Minecraft.

The last one is the bedrock version of the game which is crossplay enabled for windows 10, mobile, xbox one and Nintendo switch.

To play multiplayer on bedrock you will meed to be on the same update version which at the moment is 1.9.0. Anything higher is part of the beta for the next update to be released.

Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for responding. I thought Microsoft had purchased Minecraft? Or is that only the Bedrock versions you mention?

This is the reason I directed my comment to Microsoft. I can still easily access my original Mojang account from 2013, and was able to redeem it on XBoxLive when the multiplayer Windows 10 version transferred there. They offer 3 platforms for downloading,
which is where I found the Linux option...but it does not support multi players. Can you explain further? I thought MS was behind the multiplayer options.

Thanks,

As far as I am aware the is no Minecraft for Chrome Books.

Minecraft Bedrock (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Android, IOS, Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Nintendo Switch, Gear VR, Fire OS and Fire TV) all support cross-play with each other.

Minecraft Java Edition players can only play with other Java players.

Minecraft Education Edition is only available on Windows 10, MAC OS and IOS. They all support cross-play with each other.

Mojang chooses what devices their games support, the best place to go would be https://feedback.minecraft.net/ and post your feedback there.
