Minecraft Multiplayer Online settings

As the parent account you would need to log in to https://account.microsoft.com/family and change her settings. If you have an Xbox One you can change her settings on the console as well

My daughter wants to play online multiplayer in Minecraft on Xbox Live. The multiplayer option is greyed-out in the Minecraft settings screen but Xbox privacy settings are on Adult.

What do you mean the settings are "on Adult"?

In order to be able to play Minecraft online multiplayer on the Xbox One or Xbox 360, your daughter needs to check https://account.microsoft.com/services/ if she has an
active Gold membership (or Game Pass Ultimate which includes the Gold membership).

Then, if your daughter's account is a child account according to the birth date entered then the account was created, you as a parent have to go to https://account.xbox.com/settings and
allow her to play online multiplayer.

Hello @TheUniesLeader!

If you have your settings set to block joining multiplayer games, you can’t join any multiplayer games in Minecraft, including shared local worlds, Realms or servers. To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, make sure this setting is set to ‘Allow.’

Hi there Nebojsa K.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues playing Minecraft multiplaye.

Let's go through a comprehensive list of potential issues and solutions to get you connected.

Verify Microsoft Account Settings
Ensure your Microsoft account settings allow multiplayer gaming:

Go to Microsoft's Privacy & Online Safety settings. Ensure that settings under "Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety" are set to allow multiplayer gaming. Look for options like "Join multiplayer games" and make sure they are set to "Allow."
Check if there are any content restrictions on your account that might block multiplayer access.

Check Minecraft Account Settings
Make sure your Minecraft account is correctly set up:

If your account is part of a family group, verify that parental controls aren’t restricting multiplayer access. You might need to log in to the parent account to change these settings.

Update Minecraft
Ensure that your game is up to date:

Open the Minecraft launcher and check for any available updates. Having the latest version is crucial for multiplayer compatibility.

Check Your Network Configuration
Network issues can often be the culprit:

Your network's NAT type (Network Address Translation) should ideally be set to "Open" or "Moderate." Strict NAT types can restrict multiplayer capabilities. You can check this setting on your console or PC.
For optimal multiplayer performance, you may need to set up port forwarding on your router. Minecraft typically uses port 25565, but the required ports might vary based on your setup and platform.

Enable Multiplayer on Minecraft Settings
Ensure multiplayer is enabled in-game:

Open Minecraft, go to "Settings" -> "Profile," and ensure that the "Multiplayer Game" option is toggled on.
Make sure the multiplayer settings in-game are configured correctly. Check for any settings that may be restricting multiplayer access.

Reinstall Minecraft
Uninstall Minecraft, then download and install it again from the official website or store.
