Minecraft multiplayer is not working despite all settings being set as they should.

Ali Jones · Sep 13, 2023

My brother has been trying to get onto minecraft java on multiplayer for a few months. His settings are all correct according to the forum. He has been on microsoft family as a member, where our mother has already done what was instructed to resolve this on her end. The issue still remains, but we are not sure why.

we have gone through changing his settings (including age) both on his end, and on the parental end, restarting his computer afterwards. we had him open back up minecraft, but it still disabled him from getting to multiplayer. we had him log out just in case something strange was going on, and then had him restart his computer again.

not sure what else we should do. any advice?

system: PC, windows 11

Hi Ali Jones,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. We're sorry for the trouble this has caused you.

I am aware that your brother is having trouble accessing Minecraft java on a multiplayer for a few months now. I am here to help and let us work on this together.

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Make sure that your brother's Minecraft account is set up correctly. He should have a Mojang account and be signed in with the correct credentials.

2. Check that your brother's firewall settings are not blocking Minecraft multiplayer. You can try temporarily disabling the firewall to see if that resolves the issue.

3. Ensure that your brother's internet connection is stable and strong enough to support multiplayer gaming. You can try resetting your router or modem to see if that helps.

4. If your brother is using a VPN, try disabling it to see if that resolves the issue.

I hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,

Lavenia

Yes other games such as rocket league, MLB the show, stranded deep, and others all work for multiplayer except for Minecraft. But Minecraft is specifically saying that it is the settings that are blocking me from playing
