AwakeCabbage566 · Jun 10, 2021

I can't join featured servers ever since the new 1.17 update everything seems normal when i open MInecraft but when i go to the servers the servers won't load but it isn't the glitch where it say's coming soon or the one where it say sign in to a Microsoft account and a Nintendo switch subscription and when I try to join a server it takes a while like 10 seconds then a message appears where it say's "unable to connect to world" then I end back at the server page and I checked it isn't my internet that is causing it can someone help me fix this cause I want to play on the featured servers so can someone help me fix this bug or glitch please and Thank You.

We recommend checking this => Minecraft for Nintendo Switch FAQ – Home. You can also sign into Microsoft account | Home to make sure everything is under control as far as your Microsoft account goes. If there aren't any issues with your Microsoft account, and the link provided wasn't helpful, it would be best to get in touch with the Nintendo Switch support for further assistance.

Hi, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

To fix this you can simply go to your friend's page and then click the "Find cross platform friends" button. That should do the trick.

Hey there diamondwolffx,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox Forums community for advice on accessing cross-platform play for Minecraft. I can totally understand how this situation could be confusing.

I suggest getting in touch with Mojang as they will be best equipped to handle issues with access cross-platform play through Minecraft.

Also, just to make sure I'm reading correctly, are you playing this off of a Switch?

If you are, it would be best to reach out to
Nintendo at some point for more accurate troubleshooting pertaining to that console.

If you are using an Xbox, I recommend going to Settings> Devices and Streaming> Blu-ray> persistent storage in the Xbox One Guide and clearing that three times. Once
that has been done, go to Settings> General> Network Settings> Advanced Settings> Alternate MAC address, clearing that and letting your console restart as a quick preliminary means of troubleshooting.

Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks for reading!

I'm having the same issue. On the Nintendo Switch I can not connect to any servers. On my Android phone, i can connect to servers.
