Minecraft on Windows 10 through Xbox Confusion

SmileyKittenLOL · Feb 25, 2019

My daughter wants to add the Decocraft mod. I've tried several times, but keep getting stuck/confused. So far, I have downloaded Forge, but do not see an option to choose that profile in her version of Minecraft. I've also tried downloading the launcher.
When I try to sign in, it says username/password failed. When I created a new account, it then prompted me to buy Minecraft.

How do I get Decocraft for my daughter?

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about this sign in issue. Are you able to correctly sign into the Xbox App for Windows 10 or account.xbox.com? This will help narrow the issue down to verification from the Minecraft servers as the issue.

Since this also seems to be a specific in-game question, I suggest posting this same question over on the
Minecraft forums to get feedback from players who have done this before.

Another way to get a better answer is to ask
Mojang Support directly.

I am confused by your answer. I have never logged in to Xbox Live. I simply click on Minecraft icon on Windows 10 to start to play. The version is Minecraft Starter Edition for Windows 10.

Hi rizdek

Minecraft for Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store is not labeled as Xbox edition, which is the console only version of Minecraft that is no longer updated. The current version of Minecraft on the Xbox One is just titled "Minecraft" while on Windows it
is labeled as Minecraft for Windows 10. Just to clear up any confusion.

Does it show a player is offline in-game when trying to invite friends on the menu inside Minecraft? Or do they show offline through the Xbox App or Xbox Console Companion app? Press Win key + G to open the game bar and then open the Social overlay and check
if they show online there.

Where are you playing Minecraft? updating to windows 10 on pc does not affect xbox one gaming, your question is kinda confusing.

Looked through some of the help articles - man the information is confusing.

Anyways from what I'm inferring from the posts is that you can play Windows 10 to Windows 10, and Pocket Edition to Windows 10 and that's it right now.

"You can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta with other devices running Pocket Edition, such as Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices. Right now, you can play local multiplayer on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. Soon after the launch, online
play will be available for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta."

Can I play online with other people on Windows 10? Or on different devices?

You can play with up to four other people running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta or Pocket Edition on your local network. You can also play online with up to four of your Xbox Live friends in online multiplayer gaming.
