Minecraft realms isnt working

Hello Pan Zach,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with Minecraft. I understand how frustrating it can be when you can't join realms or play multiplayer with your son.

There are a few possible causes for this issue, and I'll try to help you troubleshoot them.

First, make sure you have the latest version of Minecraft installed on both devices. You can check for updates in the Microsoft Store app or the Xbox app.

Second, make sure you and your son are signed in with the same Microsoft account on both devices. You can check your account settings in the Xbox app or the Minecraft settings menu.

Third, make sure you have an active Xbox Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate subscription on your account. You can check your subscription status in the Xbox app or on xbox.com.

Fourth, make sure you have enabled online play and multiplayer in the Minecraft settings menu and in the Xbox Family Settings app. You can also check your privacy and online safety settings on account.xbox.com.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please contact us again and provide us with more details, such as the error messages you see, the device models you use, and the region you're in.

Thanks for the fast responce.

Well the problem is solved and it was caused by a tiny detail I missed.

For a player the ability to join realms is to get an invite firstly. Not a game invite, BUT a Server Invite.

After that the Realm is visible.

I missed that detail and I guess more people also maybe this issue . (many forums have complains about realm connection)

So players have to be cautious about this.

thanks again for the responce

and hope that this information, about the server invite detail, will be spread.

Hi there! If you only have Minecraft Xbox One Edition, it won't work on Realms. You will need the single/self titled Minecraft game to play on Realms. More info here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-titles/minecraft-realms-overview
