My friend can not connect to my world!!!

Justin Carter1 · Nov 5, 2022

So my friends can’t connect to my world but I can join theirs!!! I have done all I can do and more to try to fix this and still nothing.

I have checked my nat type

I have cleared my Mac Address

And I have no idea what to do

This is just very frustrating

This can be a it dumb, but the friends that want to join your world, all them have an Xbox live gold / game pass ultimate subscription active, correct?

If yes, can you try reinstalling the game?
**Don't forget to backup your worlds if necessary

If maybe the issue persist even after that I can advise you one more thing, it's optional.
In any case, the next step for you is contact Mojang support

This is:
Go to settings > system > console info > reset and then select keep my games and apps

I tried the unadding yesterday but I will try the DNS thing when I get home and let you know!!! Thank you for the help

Thank you, this can be a bit dumb. But may I know if you tried re-adding your friends to your friends list? (ask them to do the same)

And, if you try to play a different game with them, the same happens?

-----------

In the meantime, if re-adding the friends doesn't help. Try this:

go to Settings > Network > Advanced Settings

Once you’re inside the Advanced Settings menu, go to DNS settings and select Manual from the list of available options.

When you get to the next screen, enter 8.8.8.8 in the box associated with the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 in the Secondary DNS box.

Once the default DNS addresses have been changed, restart your console and see if the issue has been resolved at the next console startup.

If that doesn't work use 1.1.1.1 as primary and 1.0.0.1 as secondary

Hope you're doing great today despite this Justin

Please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

What's your NAT type?
So, is this happening with all your friends?
Your friends are using Xbox as well? Or it doesn't matter the device, they're not able to connect to your world?
Also, please ask your friend or friends their NAT type and let me know

Hi Justin, sure!

Let me know how it goes, I'll be crossing fingers in the meantime

My friend can not connect to my world!!!
