Minecraft java won't allow child on multiplayer even after giving authorizations

Hi Ronel, my name is Rodrigo.

I am sorry to hear that.

Which error message do you receive?

Please, take a look here for the settings to allow multiplayer:

Let me know if it works!

I have tried everything, it still will not allow multiplayer.

I have allowed multiplay games for my son's child account in https://account.xbox.com/

I have added a payment card

I have allowed Minecraft Launcher in family setting

I have even tried changing his birthday

All we want is to be able to play together on a LOCAL minecraft server (java) within our own network, what are we missing???

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.

Simply put. No. It is not currently possible to play local multiplayer Java to bedrock Minecraft. (assuming your not running the Minecraft PS4 Edition of Minecraft). Which would still be no. There are plugins for java that allow bedrock clients to connect to java servers but that feature is not on current consoles. Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy gaming!

I recommend signing in to https://account.xbox.com/settings, and making sure none of the multiplayer permissions are restricted.

I also recommend having a look at the link below, as it contains all the steps to take to edit those privacy settings:
