Minecraft java multiplayer for Kids in microsoft family account.

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about what happened. If you have allowed all the privacy options for that particular account to play online multiplayer but it's still not working, I am afraid that the problem is on the Minecraft side already. I recommend that you instead contact directly the Minecraft Support team for further investigation here https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new.

Best regards,

I experienced same situation. I tried to buy Minecraft Java Edition, following the steps. It seemed as if I needed to add money on my kids Microsoft account, but after complicated family security approval it made me purchase directly on Minecraft site (Not able to use Microsoft account balance).

Not only confusing, it was unpleasant and scammy feeling when you are trying to buy Xmas present for your family. :-(

Hello Chicken Nugget7768768,

Thank you for posting here in Xbox Forums, we hope you are doing fine.

We would like to confirm few things, may we confirm if you have issue playing with your sister? May we know if you have been ban?

If the answer is yes, here are the things you need to know before multiplayer and ban.

Multiplayer need to be allow by the organizer of your Microsoft account. Kindly ask your mom or parent or guardian or an adult to set up a Microsoft Family and add you and your sister as member. Then, the organizer of Microsoft Family which is your mom or parent or guardian or an adult will need to access this link to log-in to their Xbox profile: https://account.xbox.com/Settings

On Xbox profile, your organizer will need to set your account and your sister's account to allow you both to create and join clubs and multiplayer. Please see guide here: How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account – Home (minecraft.net)

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.

We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.

Hello,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

May we know, do you have your own Microsoft account? We recommend creating a Family Group with both your Microsoft account and your fathers' account. Please check out this Minecraft Support article that details how to create a Microsoft Account/Family Group and how to manage settings for a child account.

To download Minecraft: Java Edition, you will first have to install the Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft Store on your computer. Be sure that you are signed into YOUR account (the child account) for this. If your father has set up the privacy permissions correctly, you should be able to download specific games/apps.

When you have downloaded the Minecraft Launcher to your PC, you will be asked to sign into your Microsoft Account. Please sign into YOUR account, not as your father, and proceed. Again, if the Family Group is set up correctly you should have no issues doing this.

When you are signed in, select "Minecraft: Java Edition" from the left panel and select "Install". This should start the download process.

Having an Xbox with Minecraft on it should not interfere, as the Xbox Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) is different than Java Edition.

If you have any additional questions about installation, or problems with the game, we recommend that you contact Mojang Support and submit a ticket.
