Hello Dear User

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are having trouble on can't access multiplayer in Minecraft, and I understand your confusion.

Based on what you've described, you've checked your online privacy settings and they're turned on, so the problem may be with your game. If your account is an adult and not in a family group, let's walk through a few steps to resolve this issue:

Sign Out and Sign Back In

A simple sign-out and sign-in can sometimes fix connection or authentication issues:

• Go to Settings > Profile in Minecraft.
  

• Sign out of your Microsoft account.
  

• Close and reopen Minecraft, then sign back in with your Microsoft account.
  

Restart Your Console or Device

If you're playing Minecraft on a console (like Xbox or Windows), a restart can sometimes resolve temporary issues:

• Close the game completely, turn off the console or PC, and then turn it back on.
  

• Launch Minecraft again and check the multiplayer settings.
  

Check for Pending Updates

Outdated game files or system software might cause issues:

• Check for Minecraft updates in the Microsoft Store or Xbox Store.
  

• Also, ensure that your console or device is up to date with the latest system updates.
  

Test on Another Device

If you have access to another device (like a PC or another console), try logging into your account there and check if multiplayer works. This can help determine if the issue is specific to your device.

Clear the Minecraft Cache

If you're playing on a console, clearing the game’s cache can sometimes fix the issue:

• On Xbox: Hold the power button for 10 seconds to power off the console. Then, unplug it for 10 seconds before turning it back on.
  

• On PC (Windows 10/11): Go to the Settings app > Apps > Minecraft > Advanced Options > Reset.
  

Please try the above and let me know the results so that I can assist you further.

Best Regards.
