Minecraft Java/MacOS. : "chat not allowed by account settings" error on multiplayer servers

Hi,

this is not the problem. The problem is the restrictive privacy settings in the Xbox account. Additionally it turned out that the servers were out of sync. Thus the permissions displayed on one device when logged in, such as a MacBook, where different to the permissions shown on a Windows computer when logged in.

After going through the process of logging in and logging out and setting the permissions differently each time, and then ensuring that these positions updated correctly, we were able to use the chat option in Minecraft.

Summary: The problem is Microsoft Xbox account settings, and not Minecraft.

Perhaps Microsoft ought to stay away from well run companies instead of ruining them.

Hello Kr1sdi, my name is zahir a independent advisor.

Have you checked the in game settings to allow chat?

The main reason why the ‘Can’t chat in Minecraft” error occurs is quite simple: the game comes with a set of default settings in the multiplayer section and usually, the chat setting is set to command only. This allows you to input commands but does not let you chat with other users or interact with them

To fix the ‘Can’t chat in Minecraft” error, go to Options > Chat settings and change the settings from Command Only to Shown. This will let you talk and share your thoughts with all the other creative Minecraft players.

If chat is still unavailable, disconnect from the game and then enable the connection again.

Regards
Zahir

Hi Joel,

This sadly didn't work. I created a new account and invited myself to a family. Using the parent account, I changed all the settings on the page from the first link to "allow" or "all". It still showed up as multiplayer disabled.

If it helps, I'm using Minecraft Java 1.21 for MacOS

Regards

unfortunately it! didint, actually i dont use windows i use macOS, the help i need is that my minecraft account that is java microsoft, does not join minecraft premium servers.

Hello Kids Dad,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you're having trouble with Minecraft Java multiplayer. Just to clarify, Minecraft Java and Minecraft Bedrock are two different versions of the game, and they have different multiplayer options.



For Minecraft Java, you can play multiplayer by either joining a server or creating your own server. To join a server, you'll need to know the server's IP address and port number. To create your own server, you can use software like Minecraft Server.



If you're trying to play Minecraft Bedrock multiplayer, you'll need to make sure that your child has an Xbox Live account and that their account is set up for online multiplayer. You can check this by going to the Xbox website and signing in with your child's account. From there, go to the "Privacy & online safety" section and make sure that "Join multiplayer games" is set to "Allow".



If you've already done this and your child still can't play multiplayer, it's possible that there may be an issue with your network settings or firewall. You may want to try resetting your router or contacting your internet service provider for assistance.
