    Minecraft multiplayer not functioning.


    I migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft almost a year ago. Today, I tried to play multiplayer on a windows PC and was unable to select the option to do so, it told me I needed to check my account settings. I did so, I have set all account settings to "Allow" on the xbox settings page, I am not in a family group with others and I am over 18, my account reflects this. I have restarted the game several times and have also restarted my computer to no avail.

    :)

    It appears as though Microsoft servers just needed time to process my changes. The problem was solved by waiting about 12 hrs

    Minecraft multiplayer not functioning.

    Hello Alden Berkey ,

    We appreciate you for sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

    We understand that you're having trouble with Minecraft multiplayer. Nothing to worry, we'll work on this together.

    Before we proceed, I will be asking you few questions that will help us understand further:

    1. Can you provide more details about the error message you are receiving when trying to select the multiplayer option?
    2. Have you checked your multiplayer settings in the game itself, not just on the Xbox settings page?
    3. Do you see any error message when you try to play this game in multiplayer from your end? Can you provide it to me please?
    4. How is your internet connection? Have you tried playing on a different network?
    5. Is your game up to date? Sometimes, outdated versions can cause issues with multiplayer features.

    In the meantime, let's make sure that your Microsoft account is properly linked to your Minecraft account. You can check this by logging into your account on the Minecraft website and verifying that your Microsoft account is listed under the "Linked Accounts" section.



    If your account is properly linked, the next step is to check your Xbox Live settings. You mentioned that you have already set all account settings to "Allow" on the Xbox settings page, but let's double-check that you have enabled multiplayer specifically. To do this, follow these steps:



    1. Go to the Xbox website and sign in with your Microsoft account.

    2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Settings".

    3. Under "Privacy & online safety", select "Xbox privacy".

    4. Scroll down to the "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety" section and make sure that "Join multiplayer games" is set to "Allow".



    If this setting is already set to "Allow", the next step is to check your firewall settings. Make sure that Minecraft is allowed through your firewall by following these steps:



    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    2. Type "control firewall.cpl" and press Enter.

    3. Click on "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall".

    4. Scroll down to "Minecraft" and make sure that both the "Private" and "Public" checkboxes are checked.



    If Minecraft is already allowed through your firewall, the last step is to try resetting your network settings. To do this, follow these steps:



    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

    2. Type "cmd" and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.

    3. Type "ipconfig /release" and press Enter.

    4. Type "ipconfig /renew" and press Enter.

    5. Type "ipconfig /flushdns" and press Enter.

    After completing these steps, try launching Minecraft and see if you are able to select the option to play multiplayer. If you are still having trouble, please let me know and we can explore other options.

    Kind regards,



    Microsoft Community

    Oh, thank you so much for the response, Alden Berkey.

    We appreciate you for letting us know about this information and for confirming the issue was resolved after waiting for 12 hours on your end. I can assure you that Microsoft is fully aware of this issue we have, and they are working hard to accommodate more players and create a better experience for everyone.

    Again, we are grateful to have this conversation with and if any case you need help with Xbox products in the future, please don't hesitate to tap us back and post it here in Community Forums. We will be more than happy to help.

    Multiplayer Function in Minecraft on PC

    Hi there Gael, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    On PC, you don't need any subscription to play online the games you have purchased, don't worry.

    On the other hand, please keep in mind that Minecraft is a game that can only be played on the device you purchase it for. For instance, if you have purchased Minecraft for Nintendo Switch, you can only play it on that device and not on any other device. If you want to play it on a different device, you must buy it specifically for that device.

    I have also had a similar experience myself. I bought Minecraft for my Xbox, but I had to buy it again for my PC to play it there.

    You can also find this information on the official Minecraft Support website at the following link:

    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/artic...erring-Your-Minecraft-License-Between-Devices

    I appreciate your understanding and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    Multiplayer function does not work. (Minecraft)

    Hi Daniel! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry your sister is experiencing this with her Minecraft account.

    I just want to confirm, Is your sister's account a child account? A child account is 17 years old and below registered on the account's birthdate.

    If yes, is her account added to your Microsoft family as a family member and your account as the adult/organizer account?

    Note: The Xbox privacy settings can only be accessed if you're an adult account (18 years old and above.)

    If yes, kindly try to perform the following workarounds just in case this would work according to the official Xbox website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...ttings by selecting View details & customize.

    "Sign in to your (Organizer) Microsoft account at Xbox.com.

    Select your gamertag, and then select the More actions button (…).

    Select Xbox settings, and then select Privacy & online safety. Because you’re accessing sensitive info, you might have to enter your password or PIN.

    Select your sister's gamertag for the account that you want to manage.

    Select the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety tab or the Privacy tab.

    Review the current settings and update all of the options as "Block", and then select Submit to save the changes."

    Then sign back into your adult account and update all of the options on your sister's account as "Allow" and "Everyone", and then select Submit to save the changes.

    Wait 24 hours to make sure the changes will be applied.

    After signing out, sign in again using your sister's account in the Microsoft Store and Minecraft launcher, then check if she will be able to access the Minecraft multiplayer feature.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl
