Minecraft java multiplayer unavailable

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Sign in with your account at Xbox.com, then click your profile icon in the top right of the page.

- From the dropdown click the three dots and then Xbox Settings.

-That will take you to a page that has your Privacy & Online Safety Settings, from there you can toggle everything to 'Allow'.

If you're getting a page that you can't change those settings then it means you're on a child account. Microsoft considers all accounts below 21 years as child accounts and the privacy settings page in inaccessible for them by default.

To change your privacy settings you'll need a parent/adult account. They'll need to add you to their family group as "Member", then go into that page and enable those settings for you.

The details are outlined here under the "Manage settings on Xbox.com" tab and "Manage a member's online safety and privacy settings" sub-tab.

Hello airfryer ,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you're having trouble with the multiplayer function in Minecraft Java for PC. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:



1. Make sure that you have a stable internet connection. If your internet connection is weak or unstable, it may prevent you from accessing the multiplayer function.



2. Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking Minecraft's access to the internet. You can try temporarily disabling your firewall or antivirus software to see if this resolves the issue.



3. Ensure that you have the latest version of Minecraft installed. You can check for updates by going to the Minecraft launcher and clicking on "Options" > "Force update".



4. Try resetting your network settings. You can do this by going to "Settings" > "Network & Internet" > "Status" > "Network reset".



5. If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling Minecraft. Make sure to backup your game saves before doing so.



If all troubleshooting steps doesn't work, please contact Minecraft Support.

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.
