Minecraft Realms Parental approval

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to enable your son to complete a purchase.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Here are the complete steps to enable him to complete a purchase under his account.

Sign in to the Microsoft Family Safety site with your account please use the organizer's account.

Select the member (your son's account )whose account you want to manage.

Go to More options > Spending.

Toggle the switch under Credit cards to Require approval for every purchase.

Toggle the switch for Spending notifications if you want to be notified whenever he makes a purchase.

Please switch this off so that he can complete a purchase.

And right after the purchase is complete you can turn this ON so that you will be notified if he tries to complete a next purchase and to prevent unauthorized purchases too.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Jay-AsherMorgan.

My name is Mauro and am glad to assist you. We are sorry for this incident.

Am sharing a previous post about this incident:

Because Realms is a subscription, it cannot ask directly for a purchase. As XboxIsBetterThanPlayStation mentioned, you will need to ask your parent to go to https://account.microsoft.com/family to make changes. Have your parent then:

Click on your profile

Click on Spending

In the spending page, under the Payment methods > Credit cards have them toggle Require approval for every purchase off. Additionally, they can add funds to your account in order to make purchases. Otherwise, when you go to purchase the realm it will ask you to confirm your payment and add a Credit/Debit card, PayPal, or redeem a gift card.

If your parent wants to make sure you can't purchase additional things on your own, be sure to enable Require Approval for Every Purchase again once you've made the purchase.

As your account is a child account, only parent accounts can modify settings.

You can learn more about parental consent and managing settings for Minecraft through Mojang's support page: How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account – Home (minecraft.net)

Hello Pascal Paulis,

You're welcome!

I was wondering if that prompt will show if you have allowed your child to send a request. Have you tried selecting the request approval button? Then, checked your email regarding the request?

We'll check this with the Internal Support Team to see if this this request can found be elsewhere.

By the way, if your child is playing Minecraft, this support article is a guide for every parents - How to Manage Parental Consent, Family Settings and Realms/Multiplayer Access for a Child Account | Minecraft Help

Hi again,

There is a Minecraft article that tackles the topic about managing parental consent, settings, and realms/multiplayer access. Navigate to the parental controls section and make sure you completed the steps under "Account set up to enable...access realms" which is about halfway down the page. The page also includes screenshots of the settings.
