Why can’t I play multiplayer on Minecraft java even though I’ve clicked allow on all...

Thank you for the swift reply,

we’ve enabled all of the settings but still can’t play multiplayer. I’m on pc and have tried signing in and out several times, also deleting and redownloading Minecraft to no success. However, multiplayer does work on bedrock, just not on Java. I’ve heard from people that it can take a few hours for the settings to apply so I’m just hoping that’s the case. Thanks a lot though!

Simply put. No. It is not currently possible to play local multiplayer Java to bedrock Minecraft. (assuming your not running the Minecraft PS4 Edition of Minecraft). Which would still be no. There are plugins for java that allow bedrock clients to connect to java servers but that feature is not on current consoles. Sorry for the inconvenience. Happy gaming!

I have tried everything, it still will not allow multiplayer.

I have allowed multiplay games for my son's child account in https://account.xbox.com/

I have added a payment card

I have allowed Minecraft Launcher in family setting

I have even tried changing his birthday

All we want is to be able to play together on a LOCAL minecraft server (java) within our own network, what are we missing???

The issue is that it is the Minecraft Java version, in which I downloaded off of the minecraft.net website. Even though I downloaded it off of there, in which it had allowed me and said I owned it, I was unable to finish the download and play it due to this issue with Microsoft. I had to re-buy the gamepass to even play the Java version that I have owned since 2013.

I am experiencing the same issue. Nothing states JAVA EDITION, even tho I have it and have used it once before. All that I see available is Minecraft Launcher(doesnt open anything when I click on it), Minecraft Dungeons, & Minecraft for Windows PC bundle, all of which don't allow me to access the Java Edition which I need to access an alpha custom server. Very fustrating.
