Minecraft Unable to Connect to World - Both NATS Open

SeanMcGarvey1 · May 6, 2020

Alright, I want to preface this by saying that both my NAT and my friend's NAT are OPEN.

I am on Windows 10, and my friend is on Xbox. Yes they have the correct version, as they have connected to my world multiple times in the past.

I am the host of the world, and all of the appropriate xbox/Teredo ports are forwarded in my router. I don't have details of my friend's port forwarding, but I know that their NAT is consistently OPEN.

Rarely, once or twice a week, my friend can connect.

Usually, my friend gets the "Unable to connect to World" error.

Any ideas? Other requested information?

:)

I cannot join my friend's world ( he is ps4 and im xbox ). We are both NAT type open and i've tried everything to join, it keeps saying unable to connect to world and i desperately need to play. Thanks, I appreciate any help

Xbox and ps4 are not crossplay at the moment for minecraft. Pc is on the other hand. Hope I helped

good evening

There could be several reasons why you can't connect to your friend's world in Minecraft Bedrock:

Firewall or router configuration: Your firewall or router may be blocking incoming connections, which would prevent your friend from connecting to your world.

Internet connection: A slow or unstable internet connection can prevent you from connecting to your friend's world.

Game version mismatch: You and your friend may be playing on different versions of the game. Ensure you are both on the same version of Minecraft Bedrock.

Xbox Live account: Make sure both you and your friend are logged in to Xbox Live, as it is required for multiplayer on Minecraft Bedrock.

NAT type: You may need to change your NAT type from strict to moderate, or open, in order to connect to your friend's world.

You will have to do some troubleshooting to get the NAT to open. That is most likely the main reason you are unable to connect among worlds.
