    Why can't I play Minecraft multiplayer?


    I recently switched computers and now whenever I open Minecraft multiplayer is disabled. I've tried everything, leaving my family group, changing my settings, redownloading everything, but nothing has worked. I'm over 18 and left my Xbox family group so I could change my settings, and it worked. But when I went back to double check them it sent me here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...e-safety/manage-app-privacy-settings-xbox-one .

    What should I do?

    :)

    Why can't I play Minecraft multiplayer?

    Hi, Will! thank you for reaching out.

    My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues playing Minecraft.

    If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you answer the following questions:

    - Are you able to play Minecraft as a single player?

    - Do you currently have an active subscription to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?

    - Would you mind giving me a few examples of other games you can play online?

    Thank you! I'll be looking forward to your reply.

    Best regards.

    I can't play multiplayer Minecraft. Why?

    Hello, @roccofalcone are you trying to split-screen? If not and you are trying to play online, you might have it disabled please follow these
    instructions Press the Xbox button  on your controller to open
    the guide, and then go to Profile & system > Settings > Account. Select Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy > View details and customize > Communication
    & multiplayer. If you have it enabled then you need gold.

    One of the common reasons why some Minecraft players
    are having trouble joining other worlds is Xbox One NAT settings. If The NAT type on your console is set to Moderate, you should still be able
    to play in multiplayer games
    but other players may not be able to play together with you in a multiplayer session.
