Hi Leecabbi,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you are having trouble connecting your friend to your Minecraft world when she comes over. I'm here to help you with that.



Firstly, it's important to note that Minecraft multiplayer requires a stable internet connection. If the internet connection is weak or unstable, it can cause issues with connecting to other players. So, it's recommended to check your internet connection speed and stability.



Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot the issue:



1. Check your internet connection: Make sure that your internet connection is stable and strong enough to support Minecraft multiplayer. You can check your internet speed using any online speed test tool.



2. Restart Minecraft: Sometimes, restarting Minecraft can help resolve connectivity issues. Close Minecraft completely and then reopen it.



3. Check your Minecraft settings: Make sure that your Minecraft settings are configured correctly for multiplayer. Go to the settings menu and check that multiplayer is enabled.



4. Check your friend's Minecraft settings: Ask your friend to check their Minecraft settings to ensure that they are configured correctly for multiplayer.



If none of these steps work, you may visit this support article: Troubleshoot problems with cloud gaming | Xbox Support



I hope this helps you resolve the issue. We look forward for your response.

Hey guys

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently unable to join any of your Friends on Minecraft.

Even though you may have an Open NAT type, there still could be certain network configurations that could be preventing you from joining your friends, especially if you are using something like a community network.

You might have to perform port forwarding on your router in order for you to be able to open up the ports necessary for Xbox Live to work as effectively as possible.

I will provide the
networks ports used by Xbox Live here for your convenience:

• 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)

You can find out how to port forward by visiting the
port forward website, additionally, remember that you have to have a static IP address on both your console and your network in order for this to work.

Give this a try and let us know if this works for you!
