Multiplayer disabled on Minecraft world after update! Now requires subscription.

Hi Braje, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Braje, online multiplayer from an Xbox console requires a Game Pass Core, Game Pass Standard or Game Pass Ultimate subscription, Minecraft is not and has never been a Free To Play game as it is, for example, Roblox or Fortnite. You will need to sign up for one of the three subscriptions above in order to use this online game from your console.

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time as far as possible apologizing in advance for any delay in replying. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

Regards

I'm sorry, but a Minecraft Realms subscription is required to be able to transfer a world from Xbox to PC.

If you create a world in Minecraft you could choose on the multiplayer part if it should be open, just Friends or disable it. You don´t need a code to do that...

Hello Mr B, My name is Khaji I am the independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

I understand your confusion and frustration regarding the multiplayer access in Minecraft: Bedrock edition and Minecraft: Java edition. Let's clarify the situation:

Minecraft: Bedrock edition and Minecraft: Java edition have different multiplayer requirements:

Minecraft: Bedrock edition (the version available on Xbox) typically requires an active Xbox Live Gold subscription to access multiplayer features. Xbox Live Gold provides online multiplayer functionality for Xbox games, including Minecraft: Bedrock edition.

Minecraft: Java edition, on the other hand, does not require an Xbox Live Gold subscription or any specific subscription to play multiplayer. Minecraft: Java edition has its own multiplayer system that operates independently of Xbox Live.

Regarding your previous ability to play Minecraft: Java edition multiplayer without a subscription, it's possible that during the period when you had the Ultimate Game Pass, it provided access to Minecraft: Java edition's multiplayer features as a part of its benefits. However, once your Ultimate Game Pass subscription ended, you no longer had access to Minecraft: Java edition multiplayer unless you have an active subscription or purchase the game separately.

It's important to note that subscription requirements and benefits can change over time, and specific promotions or offers may have been available during certain periods.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with your Xbox subscriptions, keep me posted please.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again

Does she have a Nintendo switch online subscription? It is required if she will be playing an online multiplayer game such as Minecraft.
