Minecraft Java Multiplayer still blocked despite changing xbox settings

I see, thanks for confirming!

If multiplayer is working on Bedrock then your multiplayer setting is already okay, the changes you made is just not synced yet on Java. How long has it been since you changed your setting?

Please try this:

-Go to Settings > Apps > Minecraft Launcher > Advanced options > Repair and reset.

-Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

After you do both, please restart your PC. Then check if multiplayer is still blocked on Java.

If you're still a minor you will not be able to change it. You need to ask an adult to add you as a member via https://account.microsoft.com/family and once you're added as a member, the adult account will be needing to sign in to https://account.xbox.com/settings to manage your settings so you can play Minecraft Java Multiplayer.

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.
