What should I do for my Minecraft to work?

David_186 · Jul 4, 2023

This first started off on my tablet. I would try joining a server or even a friend's world and it would say, "unable to connect to world." I thought this would go away. I've waited several months. I got an Xbox and thought maybe it wouldn't do that anymore but it STILL DID. I've restarted my Minecraft and my Xbox, even tested my NAT type which is open. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and logged out of my Microsoft account and tried it. I've literally done everything I can do. I've done all these things on my tablet but it just wouldn't work. What I've noticed is that when I'm outside my house the servers and joining people seem to work fine. It may be my internet. What's going on? Please tell me what to do.

Okay thanks! I will try this.

I used the link and all the permissions were enabled. At this point it's probably an issue with my internet. What can I do to my internet to fix it?

Perfect, hopefully that can help you

Ask your Internet service provider to open these ports

Port 88 (UDP)

Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

Port 53 (UDP and TCP)

Port 80 (TCP)

Port 500 (UDP)

Port 3544 (UDP)

Port 4500 (UDP)

Note that this port opening is typically configured for a single IP address, so you would have to ask your provider to open it for the devices where you want to use the game.

Hello!

I'm an independent advisor and a member of the Xbox Community.

I will be glad to help you.

Let's rule out any account configuration problems.

Login at this link

https://account.xbox.com/Settings

And in the part of "Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 devices Online Safety" set all features related to multiplayer, communication and friendship to "Allow".

If it won't let you log in to set up your account, there may be two reasons.

1. The date of birth of your account is underage, check it in this link:

https://account.microsoft.com/profile

2. You are a member of a family group, check it in this link

https://account.microsoft.com/family/home

If you are a minor, you must enter a family group and the family group administrator must configure your account in the same way that I indicated initially.

Once this configuration is verified, try using another network as a mobile hotspot, if it works that way, it could be a problem with your network.

Best Regards.
