Minecraft "Lost connection to server" when joining game

This is likely related to the user having a different client then yours, it happened to me as well after updating until my friend updated their client. I would ensure both you and the person you are joining have the same versions installed. What versions
are you both playing?

I believe we have the same client? We both have updated the game to the most recent update that Xbox has pushed out, not sure where to find the update tag. It hasn't been out too long so to my knowledge we're both up to date. We're going to try to uninstall
and reinstall and see if they changes anything.

Update: Microsoft's Minecraft support team didn't help much. To test this out, my and my friend set up a public mini game server, with my friend making a public Battle server. I joined from the "Join" tab, and it came up with the annoying "The connection to the server was lost. Exiting to main menu" error. My friend then disabled the option "Public Game." Then, if you join from the "Friends" tab it works just fine,

Yep, I configured the router exectaly as in this example. Still it refuses to join the minecraft game (both HD conenctions) of our friend. I seems to connect and then it says "Lost connection to the server" (playing wow here with almost no latency so the
network seems ok). Need some more tips or solutions. Anyone?

Hi Jon. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Minecraft Java does not require Xbox Game Pass, are you trying to connect to a specific Minecraft server?

What happens when you try to join the server? Provide screenshots of any errors or messages you see.

Have you tried connecting to any other servers?

Thanks,
Kyle
