"Unable to connect to world Minecraft" Windows 10/Nintendo Switch Edition

Xenomegames · May 12, 2019

So, My friend and I can't play on my world on Minecraft (he's on Switch and I'm on Windows 10)

I'm hosting the game and there's a 3rd guy that is on Nintendo Switch and he can play with me on my world

I can join my friend's worlds but he cannot join mine. I don't see the problem because we tried a lot of things and it just doesn't work

We could play before but we can't anymore since a couple of weeks

Help please !

:)

Hey Xenomegames

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this up on the Xbox Forums.

This seem to be a connectivity issue, have you or your friend had any changes in your network since the last time both of you were able to hop onto your worlds together?

I would like you to verify your
NAT type. This can be done by following these simple steps:

Click the Start icon and open the Xbox app.
Select Settings > Network.
Under Network status, check the NAT type.

You are aiming for an "Open" NAT type on your end, while your buddy might want to test his network connection on his console, as "Type 1" connection would be ideal for both of you to connect.

Go ahead and verify this for us an we should be able to assist you further.

I have the same problem... only my world is on the switch hand-held and my sister is on my xbox one... my xbox ones status is the following

IP4V

NAT TYPE: Moderate

UPnP not successful

My friend who has worse internet can join but my sister, who is in my room on my xbox, cant... TT-TT

Thank you for responding !

We did a connection test on his console and it says : NAT type : B

For me it says : NAT type : Open

What do I need to do for him to get a 'Type 1' connexion ?

Hi Xenomegames,

Thanks for your reply! As this is an Xbox forum, the more detailed information on networking issues for the Nintendo Switch would not be information we directly have. We do have the following article available for help with Minecraft on the Switch: Minecraft
for Nintendo Switch FAQ.

If your networking connection on the Xbox platform are working very well, but you're unsure about the network settings for your friend's Nintendo Switch, and would like further information and/or assistance with the issue, we recommend contacting Nintendo
directly.

I hope that this helps a bit more!
