Minecraft Bedrock: unable to connect to brother's world but I can join other's worlds

Hi Kevin!

Sorry to hear about what happened. It looks like everything is fine with your privacy settings and with your brother's account privacy settings because your other brother can also join him and you can join his other worlds too.

I believe that this may be a bug on the Minecraft's side. I recommend that you send a ticket directly to Minecraft Support team for them to properly investigate the issue here https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new.

Busquei ajuda nos fóruns da Mojang sobre o problema. Aqui está o link caso queira acompanhar ou ajudar.

Hello xbox support,

My friend and i have had this ongoing problem where he is unable to connect to my worlds but i can connect to his (connecting to my worlds works just fine for others) and we have no idea why. and advise or support will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi there.

Just to make sure is this the Xbox one edition or is it the bedrock edition of Minecraft?

If you cannot add friends or join their world, follow these steps to fix the issue:

Both Java and Bedrock players can experience trouble adding people or joining their world due to their Microsoft account privacy settings.

You may be having trouble joining other people's world because of your NAT status (This depends on your network configuration, but it can be fixed)

Your friend may not have his world set as "Open to LAN" or if he is hosting the server on a PC, his ports are maybe closed which is why you can't join.

Your firewall might be preventing you from joining the world



For instructions on how to fix such issues, visit this official Minecraft article:

[BEDROCK] https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

[JAVA] https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

What version of Minecraft is this? Java? Can you provide some more details on the world and setup? How are you trying to connect? What version of Minecraft are you trying to use to join and what version of whatever edition is the world created in? There
are some versions that are cross-play (Bedrock Editions), and others that do not (Xbox One Edition, Java edition).

What errors do you get specifically when it doesn't let you join?

We can help troubleshoot, but will need a bit more information to get to the bottom of it.
