Hello, my name is Gerardo and I'm happy to help.

In order for a minor to play Minecraft online without restrictions, you must go to the following page, log in with your account and modify the minor's privacy settings (assuming that they are already in the same Microsoft family where you are an administrator):

https://account.xbox.com/settings

You must select the minor's profile and then set the following options to "Allow":

* You can play with people who are not part of Xbox Live.
* You can create and join clubs.
* You can join multiplayer games.
* You can add friends.

This procedure works the same if he is playing Minecraft on a PS5 console since the restrictions are placed by the privacy settings of the Microsoft account.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for coming to the forums for this issue with Minecraft. As you're having trouble entering into your friend's world, this may be due to your privacy settings for your Microsoft account. Since you're 13, this may indicate that you have a child account,
rather than an adult account, and may need your parent(s) to help make this change for you, or to check to ensure that everything is set up correctly for you to enter other worlds in Minecraft.

Our support article Change your child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings can help you get
everything correctly set up so that you may enjoy visiting your friend's world.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

I hope that this help out!

You can only put a timer or playing restrictions on a child account. That is any account created with the birthdate that makes them a minor (under 18 years of age) Once the account "becomes 18" it can graduate and it becomes an adult account and screen
time is not an option.
